Dr. Kim and her team made a difficult decision: they would have to shut down D.C.Scan and erase all data related to the Echo-7 protocol. However, as they attempted to disable the device, they encountered unexpected resistance.

There’s no functional difference — “D.CSCAN” is just a naming variation. Some texts use it to emphasize (vs. SCAN which reverses direction). In practice, treat it as C-SCAN.
