contents It is known that the Funk transform (the Funk-Radon transform) is invertible in the class of even (symmetric) continuous functions defined on the unit 2-sphere S^2. In this article, for the reconstruction of f from C(S^2) (can be non-even), an additional condition (to reconstruct an odd function) is found, and the injectivity of the so-called two data Funk transform is considered. An iterative inversion formula of the transform is presented. Such inversions have theoretical significance in convexity theory, integral geometry and spherical tomography. Also, the Funk-Radon transform is used in Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging.
