A unified radon inversion formula

A Radon inversion formula which holds in spaces of even or odd dimension n is obtained for functions which admit to a certain general decomposition. The inversion formula which is one member of a Gegenbauer transform pair is used to generate some interesting definite integrals involving special functions. Legendre and Tchebycheff transform pairs are discussed as special cases of the general result.
