Resolution for radar and X-ray tomography

This talk will report on joint work with Frank Natterer and Brett Borden to understand the following issue. Radar imaging and X-ray Computed
Tomography (CT) are both based on inverting the Radon transform. Yet radar can make images from as little as two degrees of aperture while X-ray CT typically requires an aperture of at least 120 degrees. This work examines the point spread function for limited-aperture imaging in order to determine the resolution in the two cases.
