1. A method for radial data acquisition of magnetic resonance data in three-dimensional k-space, comprising the steps of:
- with a magnetic resonance data acquisition system comprising a memory into which acquired magnetic resonance data are entered in k-space, entering acquired magnetic resonance data in k-space in said memory along straight-line spokes, wherein k-space in said memory comprises a center of k-space;
defining each of said spokes in k-space in said memory by one point among a plurality of points on a sphere, and a center point of said sphere, said center point of said sphere coinciding with said center of k-space; and
in k-space in said memory, defining said points on said sphere in a distribution of said points that obeys the spiral phyllotaxis.

Abstract
For radial data acquisition in three-dimensional k-space in an MR measurement for a magnetic resonance system, data in k-space are acquired along straight-line spokes. Each of the spokes is thereby defined by a point on a sphere and the center point of this sphere, wherein the center point corresponding to the center of k-space. The points are arranged on the sphere such that a distribution of the points obeys the spiral phyllotaxis, in particular the Fibonacci phyllotaxis.
