contents We derive an explicit inversion algorithm for the spherical Radon transform in odd dimensions with partial radial data. We prove that the reconstruction of the unknown function can be reduced to solving ordinary differential equations, thereby providing a more explicit approach in odd dimensions than solving Volterra integral equation of the first kind established in prior works. We also provide analytical solutions in some special cases. Finally, we present numerical simulations validating our theoretical results. Our work answers a question posed by Rubin in ``Inversion formulae for the spherical mean in odd dimensions and the Euler-Poisson-Darboux equation,'' Inverse Problems 24 (2008), no. 2, 025021, 10 pp.
