Integral geometry and tomography

Tomography is the name given to a wide variety of methods for non-destructively imaging the interior of objects such as the human body. The mathematics required to recover a realistic image from the measured data can in many cases be formulated in terms of integral geometric operators. I will describe a few types of tomography and some of the mathematics involved.
