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: $$\ln\left(\frac{I_e}{I_s}\right) = \int_\Delta f$$
Propose a rigorous definition of the right-hand side of this equation in the case where $\Delta = \Delta\left(q, \vec{u}_\theta\right)$.
