A method and apparatus for determining skin lesion parameters comprise directing light to the skin in which the lesion is located and monitoring the reflection of that light. Then, the spatial and spectral distribution of the reflected light is analyzed. The depth is determined by finding a location where the difference between a spectral intensity of reflected light and an average reflected inten...
