We introduce a technique for recovering a sufficiently smooth function from its ray transforms over rotationally related curves in the unit disc of 2-dimensional Euclidean space. The method is based on a complexification of the underlying vector fields defining the initial transport and inversion formulae are then given in a unified form. The method is used to analyze the attenuated ray transform in the same setting.
Keywords: Beltrami equation, quasiconformal, harmonic, Transport equation, filtered backprojection., attenuated ray transform.
