1. A system for analyzing a core sample of a formation, the core sample having an axis, the system comprising:

  • an imaging system having a scan source and a scan receiver, positioned adjacent the core sample with at least part of the core sample between the scan source and the scan receiver, wherein the imaging system obtains one or more images of a first segment and a second segment of the core sample as the core sample moves axially between the scan source and the scan receiver; and

    one or more processors for receiving the one or more images of the first segment and the second segment, setting the one or more images of the first segment adjacent to the one or more images of the second segment coaxially in series to form a three-dimensional stacked core image, and generating a plot that is aligned with a length of the three-dimensional stacked core image, the plot representing both a logged record and one or more characteristics of the core sample positioned at a corresponding location on the three-dimensional stacked core image.
