A method is provided for 3-D MR imaging of structure such as a cardiac region of a subject, which is disposed to cyclical motion. The method comprises detecting commencement of each of a succession of motion cycles, and acquiring a set of MR views of the region during each motion cycle. Each view is at a known radial distance from the center of a two-dimensional k-space, and each set includes a view of lowest spatial frequency, which is located proximate to the k-space center. The order in which the views of respective sets are acquired is selected so that the lowest frequency views of respective sets are each acquired at the same specified time, following commencement of their respectively corresponding motion cycles. The views of each set collectively define a segment in the k-space, respective segments being placed in an interleaved spiral or elliptical arrangement with respect to one another.
