In a method to evaluate raw data acquired with a medical image acquisition device, such as raw three-dimensional magnetic resonance spectroscopy data, wherein at least one evaluation algorithm is applied to the raw data to determine output data, the raw data are transferred from the medical acquisition device to at least one external service having a different operator from the image acquisition device. The evaluation algorithm is applied to the raw data at the external service and the output data are transferred back from the external service to the medical acquisition device.
