skannauksella

Skannauksella is a Finnish adverbial form meaning "by scanning" or "with a scan," derived from the noun skannaus (scanning) and the adessive case ending -lla. It functions to indicate the means, instrument or context by which an action is performed, for example in phrases like "skannauksella havaittiin" ("was detected by scanning") or "dokumentti lähetettiin skannauksella" ("the document was sent by scanning").

The term is used across multiple technical and everyday domains. In information technology and office work it refers to digitizing paper documents using flatbed, sheet-fed or mobile scanners. In retail and logistics it describes barcode or RFID scanning for inventory and point-of-sale systems. In medical and scientific contexts skannauksella may denote imaging modalities such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or 3D laser scanning used to capture structural data. Security applications include baggage and body scanners at checkpoints.
