Scanning, in its broadest sense, refers to the process of systematically examining something, often with the goal of identifying specific features, patterns, or anomalies. In technology, scanning is a fundamental operation used in a wide range of applications. Examples include: document scanning (converting physical documents into digital formats), network scanning (identifying active devices and services on a network), vulnerability scanning (detecting security weaknesses in systems), medical scanning (using techniques like MRI and CT scans to visualize the inside of the body), and barcode/QR code scanning (decoding information encoded in visual patterns). Each type of scanning employs different methods and tools tailored to the specific target being examined.
