On local tomography

In this paper we explain how the local tomography approach to tomographic problems can be extended to a wide range of situations including limited data problems, attenuated transforms, and generalized radon transforms. Numerical examples illustrate the use of local tomography applied to complete and limited data problems. Our analytic results are obtained through the use of microlocal analysis.
