In a magnetic resonance imaging data acquisition method, k-space () is divided into a central region () disposed at k-space center and one or more annular surrounding regions () having increasing distances from k-space center. The one or more annular surrounding regions include an outermost surrounding region () having a largest distance from k-space center. The k-space samples in the central region () are acquired. Subsequent to the acquiring of k-space samples in the central region, k-space samples are acquired in the one or more annular surrounding regions (). The k-space samples in the outermost surrounding region () are acquired last. The acquiring of k-space samples in at least the outermost surrounding region uses a row-by-row acquisition ordering in which each row of k-space samples acquired in the outermost surrounding region () completes a k-space plane.
