  <xsl:apply-templates
     select="mets:techMD[matches(@ID, 
'TMD_DRV1_IMG_Scan[0-9]{5}_techMD')]"/>


That assumes there will always be 5 digits but you could also use e.g.

  <xsl:apply-templates
     select="mets:techMD[matches(@ID, 
'TMD_DRV1_IMG_Scan[0-9]{1,5}_techMD')]"/>

to allow one to five digits.
