Claim One:
1. A method for generating magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images, the steps of the method comprising: a) preparing an MRI system having a defined field of view (FOV) to perform a dynamic contrast enhanced imaging study of a subject during motion of the subject; b) directing the MRI system to perform the dynamic contrast enhanced imaging study by: i) exciting a two-dimensional (2D) slice within a portion of the defined FOV and oriented in a selected direction relative to the motion of the subject; ii) acquiring imaging data from the 2D slice by sampling k-space in a pseudorandom manner using sampling trajectories extending between a center of k-space and peripheral areas of k-space; iii) sliding the 2D slice to another portion of the defined FOV at a velocity selected to be greater than a velocity of the motion of the subject; c) repeating b) for each of a plurality of 2D slices; and d) reconstructing the imaging data to form at least one image of the subject.
