v. tr.
1. To examine closely.
2. To look over quickly and systematically:scanning the horizon for signs of land.
3. To look over or leaf through hastily: scanned the newspaper while eating breakfast.
4. To analyze (verse) into metrical patterns.
5. Electronics.
1. To move a finely focused beam of light or electrons in a systematic pattern over (a surface) in order to reproduce or sense and subsequently transmit an image.
2. To move a radar beam in a systematic pattern over (a sector of sky) in search of a target.
6. Computer Science. To search (stored data) automatically for specific data.
7. Medicine. To examine (a body or body part) with a CAT scanner or similar scanning apparatus.
8. To digitally encode (text, for example) with an optical scanner.
Oh, and this is a must-click...or I'll keelhaul you. Or something.
