An object (10) is placed in an examination volume of a MR device (1). To enable fast MR imaging, a stack-of-stars acquisition scheme is employed with a reduced level of streaking artifacts. The acquisition scheme includes subjecting the object (10) to an imaging sequence of at least one RF pulse and switched magnetic field gradients and acquiring MR signals according to the stack-of-stars scheme. The MR signals are acquired as radial k-space profiles (S1-S12) from a number of parallel slices (21-27) arranged at different positions along a slice direction. The radial density of the k-space profiles (S1-S12) varies as a function of the slice position with the radial density being higher at more central k-space positions and lower at more peripheral k-space positions. The k-space profiles are acquired at a higher temporal density from slices at the more central positions than from slices at the more peripheral k-space positions. An MR image is reconstructed from the MR signals.
