This talk describes the project I worked on at the workshop at the IMA (Institute of Mathematics and its Applications) from July 19 to July 28, 2000. During a 10 day stay we were working on solving Fritz John's ultrahyperbolic PDE for volumetric computerized tomography. The most interesting aspect of this project was to apply results from Numerical Analysis to a real problem from industry and to explore the difficulties that arose from this, like the limit of computer memory and run time. At my talk I will go more into detail about these aspects.
