Review text

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0722.00051).] An optical diagnostic technique of long standing is used to obtain samples of the \(X\)-ray transform of the density profile of a gas. The density profile is expressed as a sum of orthogonal polynomials, and determined by means of a least squares fit of the data. The performance of the algorithm is demonstrated from simulated and experimental data, showing the feasibility of the approach. The algorithm is very expensive with regard to computer resources.
