Anime/Manga Scans
[edit]The term 'scan' can be used to refer to a scanned image of DVD cover art, a magazine illustration, a poster and more and is a commonly used term in many online (and possibly offline) anime and manga communities. For example, "I have made a wallpaper out of this scan of the character Chii from Chobits".
This is pertinent because I have updated the minitokyo article and have used scan in this sense repeatedly. Should this definition of scan (suitably written up) be included in this page or is not different enough to warrant that?
Update: I've added the definition to the list. Story Weaver 11:41, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
It is also a term used in the same way to mean a scan of a model's photobook (such as Rika Ishikawa). Both this usage and the manga usage refer to image scanning: they are computer image file representations of two-dimensional representations (on paper) that have been "optically analyzed" and are subject to the same copyright issues as other scans (picture collections for example). This usage is commonly encountered in both the manga and model communities, but it still refers to the image scanning technique. However, it does in this context refer to the image file as a result of the scanning. I will change the disambig page to reflect this. Horncomposer 01:38, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Re-organize
[edit]I reorganized the sections into Electronics or Computer Related, Organizations, and Other for both Scan & Scanning. I think someone who is up to is should combine scan and scanning, since they are so closely related. To me it does not make a lot of sense to have them separate. I'll eventually get around to it.

[edit]Published in nature https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-05964-2 in 2023 and currently over 500 citations. the SCAN fundamentally rewrites what was thought and is still published in neuroscience textbooks on the homunculus. ~2026-28159-59 (talk) 06:50, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
