Zusammenfassung:A system for obtaining downhole azimuthal imaging information includes a pressure housing (302). The system also includes a source arranged within the pressure housing (302), the source including a directable electron beam (312). The system further includes an anode (314) positioned proximate the source, within the pressure housing (302), the anode (314) having a tapered face (316)( adapted to interact with the directable electron beam (312) and direct an x-ray beam (330) away from the anode (314). The system also includes a detector (340) arranged proximate the anode (314), the anode (314) being between the source and the detector (340), wherein the detector (340) receives scattered x-rays (338), from the x-ray beam (330), the received scattered x-rays (338) corresponding to imaging information to determine one or more properties of a wellbore (104).
