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.
