Abstract
The disclosed embodiments include systems and methods to image a borehole. In one embodiment, a borehole imaging system having a borehole imaging tool and a processor is provided. The borehole imaging tool includes a magnetic field source and an array of electrode buttons. The borehole imaging tool also includes a galvanic source operable to inject an electrical current through one or more electrode buttons of the array of electrode buttons into the formation. The processor is operable to determine a differential voltage between at least two electrode buttons of the array of the electrode buttons, and determine the current through the one or more electrode buttons. The processor is also operable to determine a magnetic susceptibility and a resistivity of the formation based on the differential voltage and the current, respectively, and construct a visual representation of the formation based on the resistivity and the magnetic susceptibility of the formation.
