1. A method of acquiring MR data comprising the steps of: segmenting data acquisition into a number of segments for a given slice acquisition; selecting one segment to acquire an amount of MR data unequal to an amount of MR data to be acquired in another segment; acquiring low spatial frequency MR data in the one segment within a first acquisition window; acquiring low and high spatial frequency MR data in the another segment within a second acquisition window that is larger than the first acquisition window; interleaving the acquisition of the low spatial frequency MR data between the first and second acquisition windows; and reconstructing an MR image using the MR data of the first and second acquisition windows.
