An analysis of the stability of the spindle transform, introduced in (Three dimensional Compton scattering tomography arXiv:1704.03378 [math.FA]), is presented. We do this via a microlocal approach and show that the normal operator for the spindle transform is a type of paired Lagrangian operator with blowdown--blowdown singularities analogous to that of a limited data synthetic aperture radar (SAR) problem studied by Felea et. al. (Microlocal analysis of SAR imaging of a dynamic reflectivity function SIAM 2013). We find that the normal operator for the spindle transform belongs to a class of distibutions $I^{p,l}(Deltacupwidetilde{Delta},Lambda)$ studied by Felea and Marhuenda (Microlocal analysis of SAR imaging of a dynamic reflectivity function SIAM 2013 and Microlocal analysis of some isospectral deformations Trans. Amer. Math.), where $widetilde{Delta}$ is reflection through the origin, and $Lambda$ is associated to a rotation artefact. Later, we derive a filter to reduce the strength of the image artefact and show that it is of convolution type. We also provide simulated reconstructions to show the artefacts produced by $Lambda$ and show how the filter we derived can be applied to reduce the strength of the artefact.

Here we present a novel microlocal analysis of a new toric section transform which describes a two dimensional image reconstruction problem in Compton scattering tomography and airport baggage screening. By an analysis of two separate limited data problems for the circle transform and using microlocal analysis, we show that the canonical relation of the toric section transform is 2--1. This implies that there are image artefacts in the filtered backprojection reconstruction. We provide explicit expressions for the expected artefacts and demonstrate these by simulations. In addition, we prove injectivity of the forward operator for $L^infty$ functions supported inside the open unit ball. We present reconstructions from simulated data using a discrete approach and several regularizers with varying levels of added pseudo-random noise.
Here we present a novel microlocal analysis of generalized Radon transforms which describe the integrals of $L^2$ functions of compact support over surfaces of revolution of $C^{infty}$ curves $q$. We show that the Radon transforms are elliptic Fourier Integral Operators (FIO) and provide an analysis of the left projections $Pi_L$. Our main theorem shows that $Pi_L$ satisfies the semi-global Bolker assumption if and only if $g=q/q$ is an immersion. An analysis of the visible singularities is presented, after which we derive novel Sobolev smoothness estimates for the Radon FIO. Our theory has specific applications of interest in Compton Scattering Tomography (CST) and Bragg Scattering Tomography (BST). We show that the CST and BST integration curves satisfy the Bolker assumption and provide simulated reconstructions from CST and BST data. Additionally we give example sinusoidal integration curves which do not satisfy Bolker and provide simulations of the image artefacts. The observed artefacts in reconstruction are shown to align exactly with our predictions.
In this article, we consider a generalized Radon transform that comes up in ultrasound reflection tomography. In our model, the ultrasound emitter and receiver move at a constant distance apart along a circle. We analyze the microlocal properties of the transform $R$ that arises from this model. As a consequence, we show that for distributions with support sufficiently inside the circle, $R^*R$ is an elliptic pseudodifferential operator of order $-1$ and hence all the singularities of such distributions can be recovered.
Lecture notes from 2008 CMI/ETH Summer School on Evolution Equations. These notes are an informal introduction to the applications of microlocal methods in the study of linear evolution equations and spectral theory. Calculi of pseudodifferential operators and Fourier integral operators are discussed and axiomatized, but not constructed: the focus is on how to apply these tools.
We study the problem of inverting a restricted transverse ray transform to recover a symmetric $m$-tensor field in $mathbb{R}^3$ using microlocal analysis techniques. More precisely, we prove that a symmetric $m$-tensor field can be recovered up to a known singular term and a smoothing term if its transverse ray transform is known along all lines intersecting a fixed smooth curve satisfying the Kirillov-Tuy condition.
