Highlights:

• Spherical Radon transforms arises in medical imaging and geophysical applications.

• Spherical Radon transforms assigns to a given function its integral over the sphere.

• Under some limitation, the measurement data can be modeled integrals of functions along sphere with a fixed angular span.

• We show uniqueness results for function recovery from spherical Radon transform data.

• An efficient numerical inversion is implemented using a truncated SVD algorithm.
