Patent

CA 2707038

An X-ray downhole imaging tool is provided and includes an X-ray tube (30) capable of operating at least at 50 KeV and emitting at least one hundred micro-amperes of continuous electron current and a radiation detector (40) axially displaced from the X-ray tube, at least partially shielded therefrom and radially directed. In certain embodiments, the radiation detector includes a microchannel plate and a resistive anode. In certain embodiments, a second detector which is axially directed is also provided.

L'invention porte sur un outil d'imagerie de fond de trou à rayons X, qui comprend un tube à rayons X capable de fonctionner au moins à 50 KeV et d'émettre au moins cent microampères de courant électronique continu et un détecteur de rayonnement déplacé axialement du tube à rayons X, protégé au moins partiellement de celui-ci et dirigé radialement. Dans certains modes de réalisation, le détecteur de rayonnement comprend une galette de microcanaux et une anode résistive. Dans certains modes de réalisation, un second détecteur qui est dirigé axialement est également fourni.
