To scan a body part of a patient, a medical socket contour scanning system including a pattern imposer that imposes a predefined pattern having a plurality of contrast points on the body part to be scanned, and a scanning element including a plurality of image capture devices disposed a pre-defined, spaced apart distance from one another such that adjacent ones have an overlapping field of view. The image capture devices are structured to simultaneously and instantaneously capture an image of the body part with the pattern imposed thereon, a processor, operatively associated with the image capture devices structured to receive the captured images from the image capture devices, compare the captured images from adjacent ones of the image capture devices in order to identify a common element of the pattern, and to utilize the common element so as to define a three-dimensional composite image from all of the captured images which will be utilized to define a socket for a medical appliance.
