  ABSTRACT: This paper establishes an efficient color space for the contrast enhancement of myocardial perfusion images. The effects of histogram equalization and contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization are investigated and the one which gives good enhancement results is extended to the suitable color space. The color space which gives better results is chosen experimentally. Uniqueness of this work is that contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization technique is applied to the chrominance channels of the cardiac nuclear image, leaving the luminance channel unaffected which results in an enhanced image output in color space.
