We study a vector tomography problem of reconstructing potential components of a three-dimensional vector field from its normal Radon transform. The method of singular value decomposition is used. For the subspace of potential fields with potentials vanishing on the boundary, we construct an orthogonal basis and compute its image under the normal Radon transform.
