QIV.C.1 Continuous Probability Distributions and Random Variables Integrability, Boundedness, and Regularity of Density/Distribution-Related Functions View
We consider a function $f$ in $\mathcal{B}_1$ whose partial derivatives $\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}$ and $\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}$ are in $\mathcal{B}_2$. We set, with the notations of part III: $$\forall q \in \mathbb{R}^+,\quad F(q) = \frac{1}{2\pi}\int_0^{2\pi} \hat{f}(q,\theta)\,\mathrm{d}\theta = 2\int_q^{+\infty} \frac{r\bar{f}(r)}{\sqrt{r^2-q^2}}\,\mathrm{d}r$$
Justify that $F$ is of class $C^1$ on $]0, +\infty[$ and that near $+\infty$ we have $F(q) = O\left(\frac{1}{q}\right)$.
QIV.C.2 Continuous Probability Distributions and Random Variables Change of Variable and Integral Evaluation View
We consider a function $f$ in $\mathcal{B}_1$ whose partial derivatives $\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}$ and $\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}$ are in $\mathcal{B}_2$. We set: $$\forall q \in \mathbb{R}^+,\quad F(q) = \frac{1}{2\pi}\int_0^{2\pi} \hat{f}(q,\theta)\,\mathrm{d}\theta = 2\int_q^{+\infty} \frac{r\bar{f}(r)}{\sqrt{r^2-q^2}}\,\mathrm{d}r$$
Prove: $\forall \varepsilon > 0,\ \int_\varepsilon^{+\infty} \frac{F^{\prime}(q)}{q}\,\mathrm{d}q = -\frac{F(\varepsilon)}{\varepsilon} + 2\int_\varepsilon^{+\infty} \frac{1}{q^2}\left(\int_q^{+\infty} \frac{r\bar{f}(r)}{\sqrt{r^2-q^2}}\,\mathrm{d}r\right)\mathrm{d}q$.
QIV.C.3 Continuous Probability Distributions and Random Variables Change of Variable and Integral Evaluation View
We consider a function $f$ in $\mathcal{B}_1$ whose partial derivatives $\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}$ and $\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}$ are in $\mathcal{B}_2$. We set: $$\forall q \in \mathbb{R}^+,\quad F(q) = \frac{1}{2\pi}\int_0^{2\pi} \hat{f}(q,\theta)\,\mathrm{d}\theta = 2\int_q^{+\infty} \frac{r\bar{f}(r)}{\sqrt{r^2-q^2}}\,\mathrm{d}r$$
We admit that we can interchange the two integrals and therefore that $$\forall \varepsilon > 0 \quad \int_\varepsilon^{+\infty} \left(\frac{1}{q^2}\int_q^{+\infty} \frac{r\bar{f}(r)}{\sqrt{r^2-q^2}}\,\mathrm{d}r\right)\mathrm{d}q = \int_\varepsilon^{+\infty} \left(\int_\varepsilon^r \frac{r\bar{f}(r)}{q^2\sqrt{r^2-q^2}}\,\mathrm{d}q\right)\mathrm{d}r$$
Deduce that $\forall \varepsilon > 0,\ \int_\varepsilon^{+\infty} \frac{F^{\prime}(q)}{q}\,\mathrm{d}q = -2\varepsilon \int_\varepsilon^{+\infty} \frac{\bar{f}(r)}{r\sqrt{r^2-\varepsilon^2}}\,\mathrm{d}r$.

Establish the Radon inversion formula for this function $f$ at the point $(x,y) = (0,0)$.

QIV.D.3 Continuous Probability Distributions and Random Variables Change of Variable and Integral Evaluation View
We consider a function $f$ in $\mathcal{B}_1$ such that $\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}$ and $\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}$ are in $\mathcal{B}_2$.

QV.A.3 Groups Group Actions and Surjectivity/Injectivity of Maps View
We define $\hat{f}^\star$ on $G$ by composing $\hat{f}$ with $\Psi$: we set, for all $g \in G$, $\hat{f}^\star(g) = \hat{f}(\Psi(g))$.
Demonstrate that $\hat{f}^\star$ is $H$-invariant, that is, for all $g \in G$ and $h \in H$, $\hat{f}^\star(gh) = \hat{f}^\star(g)$.

Assuming that each incident X-ray beam is carried by an affine line $\Delta$, and denoting by $I_e$ and $I_s$ its intensity measured on either side of the targeted zone: $$\ln\left(\frac{I_e}{I_s}\right) = \int_\Delta f$$
Propose a rigorous definition of the right-hand side of this equation in the case where $\Delta = \Delta\left(q, \vec{u}_\theta\right)$.
QV.B.2 Indefinite & Definite Integrals Definite Integral Evaluation (Computational) View
We model the density of tissues by an unknown function $f$ zero outside the zone to be studied. Assuming that each incident X-ray beam is carried by an affine line $\Delta$, and denoting by $I_e$ and $I_s$ its intensity measured on either side of the targeted zone: $$\ln\left(\frac{I_e}{I_s}\right) = \int_\Delta f$$
Explain how the Radon inversion formula allows us in principle to know the density of tissues in the radiographed zone.
