                         convergence in block-iterative algorithms [1], [2], [6]. In the 
                         present article we give new results on the convergence of RAMLA 
                         (Row Action Maximum Likelihood Algorithm) [2], filling some 
                         important theoretical gaps. Furthermore, because RAMLA and OS-EM 
                         (Ordered Subsets - Expectation Maximization) [4] are the 
                         algorithms for statistical reconstruction currently being used in 
                         commercial emission tomography scanners, we present a comparison 
                         between them from the viewpoint of a specific imaging task. Our 
                         experiments show the importance of relaxation to improve image 
                         quality.",
