Abstract: We present novel microlocal and injectivity analyses of ellipsoid and hyperboloid Radon transforms. We introduce a new Radon transform, R, which defines the integrals of a compactly supported L2 function, f, over ellipsoids and hyperboloids with centers on a smooth connected surface, S. R is shown to be a Fourier Integral Operator (FIO) and in our main theorem we prove that R satisfies the Bolker condition if the support of f is connected and not intersected by any plane tangent to S. Under certain conditions, this is an equivalence. We give examples where our theory can be applied. Focusing specifically on a cylindrical geometry of interest in Ultrasound Reflection Tomography (URT), we prove injectivity results and investigate the visible singularities. In addition, we present example reconstructions of image phantoms in two-dimensions, and validate our microlocal theory.
