The purpose of this study is to present a cloud‐based spectral simulation tool “MRSCloud,” which allows MRS users to simulate a vendor‐specific and sequence‐specific basis set online in a convenient and time‐efficient manner. This tool can simulate basis sets for GE, Philips, and Siemens MR scanners, including conventional acquisitions and spectral editing schemes with PRESS and semi‐LASER localization at 3 T.

The MRSCloud tool was built on the spectral simulation functionality in the FID‐A software package. We added three extensions to accelerate computation (ie, one‐dimensional projection method, coherence pathways filters, and precalculation of propagators). The RF waveforms were generated based on vendors' generic pulse shapes and timings. Simulations were compared within MRSCloud using different numbers of spatial resolution (21 × 21, 41 × 41, and 101 × 101 …
