                 electrocardiography involves computing potentials on the
                 epicardium from measured electrocardiograms (ECGs) on the
                 torso surface. The main challenge of solving this
                 electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) problem lies in its
                 intrinsic ill-posedness. While many regularization
                 techniques have been developed to control wild
                 oscillations of the solution, the choice of proper
                 regularization methods for obtaining clinically acceptable
                 solutions is still a subject of ongoing research. However
                 there has been little rigorous comparison across methods
                 proposed by different groups. This study systematically
                 compared various regularization techniques for solving the
                 ECGI problem under a unified simulation framework,
                 consisting of both 1) progressively more complex idealized
                 source models (from single dipole to triplet of dipoles),
                 and 2) an electrolytic human torso tank containing a live
                 canine heart, with the cardiac source being modeled by
                 potentials measured on a cylindrical cage placed around
                 the heart. We tested 13 different regularization
                 techniques to solve the inverse problem of recovering
                 epicardial potentials, and found that non-quadratic
                 methods (total variation algorithms) and first-order and
                 second-order Tikhonov regularizations outperformed other
                 methodologies and resulted in similar average
                 reconstruction errors.",
