positions <strong>of</strong> the impulse phantom. The leftmost column is the RTik prior, the centre column<br />
is the Rdiag, the right most is the RLap prior. We do not show the RHPF solutions as they<br />
were similar to the RTik results.<br />
From a qualitative point <strong>of</strong> view the three priors provide similar reconstructions in that<br />
none <strong>of</strong> them appears superior to the others in terms <strong>of</strong> a qualitative assessment <strong>of</strong> figure<br />
5.7. Analysis <strong>of</strong> the various plots <strong>of</strong> figure 5.8 show that the RTik is inferior to the others<br />
in terms image energy while the Rdiag prior is slightly superior in terms <strong>of</strong> resolution.<br />

Figure 5.7: Quarter section reconstructions <strong>of</strong> contrasts located at radial <strong>of</strong>fset <strong>of</strong> r/2. Left<br />
column is RTik prior, centre column is Rdiag prior, right column is RLap prior. Two<br />
electrodes per layer are shown<br />
Figure 5.8(a) shows the resolution <strong>for</strong> all three priors <strong>for</strong> the two sets <strong>of</strong> simulated data,<br />
r=0 and r/2. The resolution varies by 20% as a function <strong>of</strong> height. The best resolution<br />
<strong>for</strong> each prior occurs near the electrode planes with the worse resolution occurring in the<br />
