1. A system for capturing high-resolution video images of skin, comprising:
a patient interface, comprising
a platform;
a patient position template, for directing a patient where to stand; and
a position sensor interface;
a handheld exam controller, comprising
a laser projector;
a camera; and
a position sensor; and
a storage device configured and arranged to archive the video images of the skin,
wherein the handheld exam controller is configured and arranged to playback even numbered video image frames, of the video images, in order of capture by the camera, and
wherein the handheld exam controller is configured and arranged to determine the scale of any skin lesions on the patient as a function of a captured illumination pattern in the odd numbered video frames and the size of elements in the illumination pattern is used to determine the scale of the video images and therefore determine the size of any skin lesions in the video images.
