In limited data computerized tomography, the 2D or 3D problem can be reduced to a family of 1D problems using the differentiated backprojection (DBP) method. Each 1D problem consists of recovering a compactly supported function $f in L^2(mathcal F)$, where $mathcal F$ is a finite interval, from its partial Hilbert transform data. When the Hilbert transform is measured on a finite interval $mathcal G$ that only overlaps but does not cover $mathcal F$ this inversion problem is known to be severely ill-posed [1]. In this paper, we study the reconstruction of $f$ restricted to the overlap region $mathcal F cap mathcal G$. We show that with this restriction and by assuming prior knowledge on the $L^2$ norm or on the variation of $f$, better stability with Holder continuity (typical for mildly ill-posed problems) can be obtained.
