This paper presents a technique for overcoming the problem of tissue absorption in emission tomography. Given a set of equispaced projections in the interval (0, 2π), it is possible to derive an exact formula for recovering the spectrum of the image. The formula is obtained by solving a linear partial-differential equation that links the derivatives of the spectrum with respect to absorption and spatial frequencies. Examples of the application of the technique to synthetic and real data are given.
