was established in (Paternain et al. in Am J Math 141(6):1707–1750, 2019). The present article extends this result by proving a Hölder-type stability estimate. As an application, a statistical consistency result for $$\dim M =2$$

(Monard et al. in Commun Pure Appl Math, 2019) is generalised to higher dimensions. The injectivity proof in (Paternain et al. in Am J Math 141(6):1707–1750, 2019) relies on a novel method by Uhlmann and Vasy (Invent Math 205(1):83–120, 2016), which first establishes injectivity in a shallow layer below $$\partial M$$
∂
M
and then globalises this by a layer stripping argument. The main technical contribution of this paper is a more quantitative version of these arguments, in particular, proving uniform bounds on layer depth and stability constants.
