Gastroenterology A descriptive term for the appearance of Candida oesophagitis, where there are irregular serrations, seen by a barium swallow
Imaging—bone, digits A descriptive term for a semilunar erosion at the ulnar aspect of the distal radius, seen in patients with advanced rheumatoid arthritis and caused by spontaneous rupture of the digital extensors; the ‘scallop’ is often more prominent, as it may be rimmed by an osteosclerotic margin
Imaging—bone, vertebrae A descriptive term for a gouged-edge appearance of vertebrae in certain pathological conditions; when the scalloping is anterior, it may be due to pressure from an aneurysm. Posterior scalloping is associated with spinal tumours, neurofibromatosis or communicating hydrocephalus
Imaging—chest A descriptive term for the tethering of the visceral to parietal pleura, seen in pneumothorax which develops 'over' prior lung disease
Pathology A descriptive term for the serration of colloid adjacent to the epithelial cells in thyroid acini, seen by low-power light microscopy of Hashimoto’s disease

In [15], the authors extended their work to address scalloping artifacts using Amazon forests, and proposed an improved version of descalloping method of [11] by introducing a new normalization scheme that suppresses the deviation of power due to shift in estimated antenna pattern.
[16] proposed a descalloping filter based on post-processing modification of spectrum of ScanSAR image, in which the scalloping related peaks in the ScanSAR image spectrum are identified.
In this paper, we propose a novel technique for removal of scalloping and inter-scan banding.

Afterward, sloops were phased out of scalloping, but catboats continued to dredge under sail into the 1920's.
Skiffs (wooden rowboats), 12-15 ft (3.7-4.6 m) long, began to replace catboats in the bay scalloping fleets when outboard motors became available in the late 1930's.
