## Abstract The geometry of an RF phasedโarray receiving coil for highโresolution MRI of the carotid artery, particularly the bifurcation, was optimized with respect to signalโtoโnoise ratio (SNR). A simulation tool was developed to determine homogeneity, sensitivity, and SNR for a given imaging si
