Abstract
A method is described for determining a variable gamma-ray absorption coefficient in a sample from measurements made outside the sample, and the applicability of the method to other radiological problems (e.g., positron scanning) is pointed out. An experimental test of the method is described, and it is concluded that the method works well.

The solution found is applicable to three problems of interest for precise radiology and radiotherapy: the determination of a variable x‐ray absorption coefficient in two dimensions, and thedetermination of the distribution of positron annihilations when there is an inhomogeneous distribution of the positron emitter in matter.
