An automated method of calculating optimised encodings to label vessels using vessel-encoded pseudo-continuous arterial spin labelling is presented. The resulting encoding schemes have greater simulated SNR efficiency than those from other methods for a variety of vessel numbers and geometries. Preliminary healthy subject scans have resulted in images with higher SNR. The method requires further validation in subjects and more vessel scenarios.
