Abstract
The x-ray problem is a linear inverse problem which asks if a function can be determined from its integral along a class of curves. This thesis goes through a brief history including the x-ray transform's relationship to nonlinear problems such as boundary distance rigidity. It provides an introduction to microlocal analysis and the scattering algebra, before intro- ducing a new algebra similar to the scattering algebra. Using this new algebra, a modified x-ray transform on asymptotically Euclidean spaces is a locally elliptic operator in this new setting. This ellipticity in turn shows that the original x-ray transform has a left inverse up to a finite rank error in a region near infinity on asymptotically Euclidean spaces
