Abstract
The problem of determining the structure of an object from knowledge of its projections along straight lines arises in a variety of optical contexts. The general solution to this problem is given by the inverse Radon transform of the projections. A superposition principle is developed to show the relation between this general inversion and the more familiar inverse Abel transform that is associated with radially symmetric objects.
