rescanning

Another pass through

Rescanning is scanning again—running another pass with a scanner, whether for documents, medical imaging, or security checkpoints.

The term implies a first scan was insufficient: The image was blurry, so they're rescanning the patient.

In computing, rescanning detects newly connected devices or refreshes a directory listing.
