A design consideration for center-out k-space trajectories is the angular distribution of trajectory endpoints (or equivalently, exit angles). Uniformity is desirable, but the regularity of spacing affects aliasing patterns, which can dictate undersampling performance. Here, a method for choosing points on a sphere with Poisson disc spacing is described, and its use in selecting angles for a 3D radial UTE sequence is validated.
