Claim 7:
8. A method for providing a user with imaging data to provide pre-diagnostic information to make a determination if specialized medical diagnostic or treatment is desirable, said method comprising:
obtaining multiple imaging data over time through a wearable scanner module conforming to a target imaging area of a patient that supports a plurality of ultrasonic imaging transducers about the target site, said scanner module, and plurality of ultrasonic imaging transducers adapted to identify differences in a size or a density of formations within the target imaging area and all being affixed to and supported on a wearable structure capable of holding and supporting said scanner module and plurality of ultrasonic imaging transducers in consistent and repeatable geometry, said wearable scanner module comprising:
a brassiere shaped garment having a first support cup and a second support cup, each said support cup connected to an arrangement of attachment straps that can be donned in a closely fitted manner about a user's upper torso;
a first series of ultrasonic imaging transducers in electrical communication with a data bus and supported on said first support cup;
a second series of ultrasonic imaging transducers in electrical communication with said data bus and supported on said second support cup;
an electronics module removably affixed to said brassiere shaped garment and comprising:
a central processor;
an input connection for providing electronic communication between said central processor and said data bus; and
an output connection adapted for enabling electrical communication between said central processor with an external computer processing resource; and
displaying said imaging data on said computing resource.
