title: A note on the reconstruction of ellipsoids from the X-ray transform.
abstract: This paper is concerned with the problem of locating a solid tumour in X-ray tomography. Given that the unknown tumour is ellipsoidal and of uniform density, it is shown that the location, orientation, principal axes of the tumour are uniquely determined from six radiographs.
