1. A method for simulation of a magnetic resonance (MR) scanner in an MRI simulator, said method comprising:
inputting data parameters into a web interface of the MRI simulator, wherein the inputting is at least data parameters relating to a pulse sequence and an anatomical model;
connecting the web interface with a cloud-based simulator engine of the MRI simulator for transfer of data parameters to the cloud-based simulator engine;
importing a pulse sequence calculation model, thereby building a pulse sequence during the simulation;
setting input data;
performing a slice selection in an obtained image in the web interface;
recalculating the data parameters for the provision of one or more simulated MR signals, said recalculating being performed in the cloud reconstructing an MR image based on said one or more simulated MR signals, said reconstructing being performed in the cloud; and
sending the MR image to the web interface,
wherein phase encoding direction and frequency encoding direction represent one axis each orthogonal to the slice selection direction, and
wherein the slice selection is a single slice selection 2D acquisition(s) or a slab in 3D acquisition(s).
