A characteristic of an earth formation surrounding an inclined borehole in which a generally cylindrical logging while drilling tool is received, is determined by the steps of: determining a bottom contact point of a cross-section of the tool which is orthogonal its longitudinal axis which cross-section contacts the borehole as the tool rotates; separating the cross- section into at least two segments, where one of said segments is called a bottom segment of the borehole which includes the bottom contact point; applying energy into and circumferentially around the borehole from an energy source disposed in the tool, as the tool turns in the borehole; recording measurement signals received at a sensor disposed in the tool from circumferentially spaced locations around the borehole, where the measurement signals are in response to returning energy resulting from the interaction of the applied energy with the formation; associating the measurement signals with a particular segment during the lime such signals are produced in response to energy returning from the formation as the tool turns in the borehole; and deriving an lndlcatlon of a characteristic of the formation as a function of the measurement signals associated with the bottom segment of the borehole.
