Abstract
Some systems include an electromagnetic imaging tool configured to receive electromagnetic radiation, a communication interface, a processor in communication with the electromagnetic imaging tool and the communication interface, and a housing. Systems can include a first sensor head having a first plurality of acoustic sensor elements arranged in a first acoustic sensor array. The communication interface can provide communication between the processor and the sensor head via wired or wireless communication. The communication interface can comprise a docking port in communication with the processor and configured to removably receive a corresponding docking mechanism of the first sensor head. Some systems may include a second sensor head having a second plurality of acoustic sensor elements. The second sensor head may be interchangeably connectable to the communication interface and/or the first sensor head.
