Radon's problem, the recovery of a function from its integrals along straight lines in the plane, has received considerable attention in recent years because of its many practical applications, notably in medicine. The reason that straight lines are significant is that the probing agents in many applications, photons, charged particles, and phonons, obey Newton's first law and travel in straight lines unless they undergo interactions. It is easy to conceive of situations in which the probing agents do not follow straight lines, so Radon's problem needs to be generalized to other curves. Such generalizations have been made for certain ellipses and circles [5], [7], and for circles through the origin [1], [3]. When certain Fourier expansions are made, the treatment of these last circles is so similar to the treatment of straight lines using the same expansions [1], [2], [6] that it seemed desirable to see whether they could both be special cases of a more general set of curves in the plane. The purpose of this note is to treat a family of curves in the plane which does contain these as special cases. Let (r, 9) and (p, q) be polar coordinates in the plane and consider the curves given by
