1. A computer implemented method for simulation of a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) medical procedure, the computer implemented method executed within a computer system comprising a computer processor connected to a storage medium, and a user interface having a user terminal, the method comprising the steps of:
selecting, for user interaction on a computer display, MRI settings associated with a third party MRI vendor selected from a listing of certain third party vendors;
visually displaying, at the user terminal for user selection, one or more criteria for initiating simulation of the MRI procedure in accordance with the settings of the selected third party vendor;
visually displaying, at the user terminal for user selection, one or more MRI examination procedures to be simulated based upon the user selected criteria for simulation of the MRI procedure;
visually displaying, at the user terminal, a virtual MRI interface for accepting user input for configuring imaging to be initiated for a user selected MRI examination procedure to be simulated based upon the user selected criteria for simulation of the MRI procedure;
visually displaying, at the user terminal, one or more critical questions relating to the user selected MRI examination procedure to be simulated based upon the user selected criteria for simulation of the MRI procedure, wherein a user provides one or more responses to the one or more critical questions;
simulating, by the processor, the user selected MRI examination procedure based upon the user selected criteria for simulation of the MRI procedure to generate resulting MRI images;
visually displaying, at the user terminal, the generated resulting MRI images;
determining, by the processor, based upon prescribed criteria, a deviation value from which the generated resulting MRI images deviate from acceptable MRI images relating to the user selected MRI examination procedure; and
determining, by the processor, a score value for the user's simulated MRI examination procedure based upon the determined deviation value and the user's response to the one or more critical questions.
