Abstract
We developed 3D simulation software of human organs/tissues; we developed a database to store the related data, a data
management system to manage the created data, and a metadata system for the management of data. This approach provides two
benefits: first of all the developed system does not require to keep the patient’s/subject’s medical images on the system, providing
less memory usage. Besides the system also provides 3D simulation and modification options, which will help clinicians to use
necessary tools for visualization and modification operations. The developed system is tested in a case study, in which a 3D human
brain model is created and simulated from 2D MRI images of a human brain, and we extended the 3D model to include the
spreading cortical depression (SCD) wave front, which is an electrical phoneme that is believed to cause the migraine.
