Abstract
It is often desirable to display medical images of different parameters in correlation to each other. Multiparameter color images can be used to represent such information. We discuss the most common color models in computer graphics, presented in a new unifying framework. A new generalized color model, GIHS, is presented of which the existing color models are special cases realized by particular choices of parameter values. The use of the GIHS model for the representation of multiparameter images in general and some medical applications are discussed.
