    The author proves an inversion formula for the attenuated Radon transform in the two-dimensional plane similar to one given by \textit{Novikov} [preprint, CNRS, UMR 6629, Dep. Math., Univ. Nantes]. The proof uses tools which the author developed in some earlier work studying the range of the attenuated Radon transform. The inversion formula is given in form of a divergence expression of a spherical integral related to the Hilbert transform. The paper further gives an outline for an algorithmic approach which assumes some usual sampling conditions. Numerical experiments have been done using an elliptical chest phantom.
