scannings
Careful looking-over sessions
Scannings is the plural of scanning, the act of examining something systematically or quickly.
In medical contexts, scannings refers to multiple imaging procedures: The patient underwent several scannings over the course of treatment.
In computing, it can mean multiple passes through data or documents.
The word is relatively uncommon, as scanning typically functions as an uncountable noun.
