In two dimensions, we consider the problem of inversion of the attenuated $ X $-ray transform of a compactly supported function from data restricted to lines leaning on a given arc. We provide a method to reconstruct the function on the convex hull of this arc. The attenuation is assumed known. The method of proof uses the Hilbert transform associated with $ A $-analytic functions in the sense of Bukhgeim.

Keywords: Attenuated X-ray transform, attenuated Radon transform, partial data, region-of-interest, local tomography, A-analytic maps, Hilbert transform.
