Abstract
We given an inversion formula for the attenuated Radon transform
for constant attenuation μ which is accurate up toO(µ 4)
We also derive an integral equation of the second kind for the solution ofR μf=g. The implementation of both methods for the inversion ofR μ consists basically of a generalized filtered backprojection algorithm. Numerical examples are presented.
