It is a great pleasure for me to address this colloquium of radio astronomers on reconstruction from projections, especially since this opportunity allows me to combine an early interest in astronomy with my current work.

Some of you have been applying methods of reconstruction since the mid-1950’s. Radio astronomers formed a cohesive society then and the methods reached fruition and matured in a natural progression. Reconstruction from strip scans and then interferometer data has been so fundamental to the formation of images in radio astronomy that one may well say that the field could not have progressed without them.
