The exponential X‐ray transform arises in single photon emission computed tomography and is defined on functions on ℝ n by, where μ is a constant. Approximate inversion, and inversion formulae of filtered back‐projection type are derived for this operator in all dimensions. In particular, explicit formulae are given for convolution kernels (filters) K corresponding to a general point spread function E that can be used to invert the exponential X‐ray transform via a filtered back‐projection algorithm. The results extend and refine work of Tretiak and Metz 17 .
