A method is provided for creating magnetic resonance images of a predetermined three-dimensional volume segment of a living object undergoing examination, using a magnetic resonance device. The method includes acquiring magnetic resonance data in the volume segment by radial acquisition of a k-space for a predetermined duration of capture that includes at least one full respiratory period of the object undergoing examination; analyzing the magnetic resonance data in order to determine therefrom at least one respiratory period; forming at least one data group that includes only the magnetic resonance data that belongs to at least one respiratory state of the at least one respiratory period; and creating the magnetic resonance images from only the magnetic resonance data of the at least one data group. Here, it is advantageous that magnetic resonance images of higher temporal resolution and/or better image quality, in particular with smaller image artifacts, may be provided.
