The meaning of interior tomography

Interior tomography is an emerging area, which is for theoretically exact reconstruction of an internal region of interest (ROI) only from local projection data directly associated with the ROI. Here we focus on the ideas and implications of interior tomography, and discuss future research, development and applications.
