The general relation between interferometric data and sky brightness requires the use of three-dimensional Fourier transforms. Only in special cases does the standard two-dimensional Fourier relations result in images free of distortions. For the VLA, use of two-dimensional transforms introduces errors which are important at low frequencies and high resolutions. We review options and progress in solving the computational problems associated with the full solution.
