In this paper we present an inversion of the Radon transform for N-dimensional space in terms of spherical harmonics and orthogonal polynomials. Partial solution for N = 3 leads to a new method for reconstructing electronic densities from experimental Compton profiles. This techniques, based on the expansion of experimental spectra and densities into Jacobi polynomials is compared with other reconstruction methods.
