Investigations of the Fermi surface via the electron momentum distribution reconstructed from either angular correlation of annihilation radiation (or Compton scattering) experimental spectra are presented. The basis of these experiments and mathematical methods applied in reconstructing three-dimensional densities from line (or plane) projections measured in these experiments are described. The review of papers where such techniques have been applied to study the Fermi surface of metallic materials with showing their main results is also done.
