In photo-acoustics one has to reconstruct a function from its averages over spheres around points on the measurement surface. For special surfaces inversion formulas are known. In this paper we derive a formula for surfaces that bound smooth convex domains. It reconstructs the function modulo a smoothing integral operator. For special surfaces the integral operator vanishes, providing exact reconstruction.
