Abstract
In this paper, the stationary photon transport equation has been extended by analytical continuation from
{\mathbb{R}^{3}}
to
{\mathbb{C}^{3}}
.
A solution to the inverse problem posed by this equation is obtained on a hyper-sphere and a hyper-cylinder as X-ray and Radon transforms, respectively.
We show that these results can be transformed into each other, and they agree with known results.
Numerical reconstructions of a three-dimensional Shepp–Logan head phantom using the obtained inverse formula illustrate the analytical results obtained in this manuscript.
