Claim One:
1. A method of MR data acquisition comprising the steps of: interleaving sampling of peripheral regions of k-space and samplings of a center region of k-space, wherein performing the interleaved sampling comprises: sampling a first peripheral region of k-space at a pre-selected temporal rate; waiting a first predetermined period of time before sampling the center region of k-space, the center region being sampled at a faster temporal rate than the first peripheral region; sampling a second peripheral region of k-space at the pre-selected temporal rate; and waiting a second predetermined period of time different than the first predetermined period of time before sampling the center region of k-space, the center region being sampled at a faster temporal rate than the second peripheral region; wherein the first and second predetermined periods of time are a function of a distance of the respective first and second peripheral regions from the center region of k-space, and wherein the predetermined period of time increases as the peripheral region distance from the center region of k-space increases.
