Abstract
Wavelength dependent, voxel-based skin lesion models with different depths are simulated using the Monte Carlo technique with the Nevoscope optical geometry. A correlation analysis between the lesion depth and the diffuse reflectance is used for selecting optimal wavelengths for skin lesion imaging.
