While the use of x-rays originated in medical fields it has expanded through other disciplines. Petroleum and geological sciences are no exception. Beginning in the 1980's, x-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging has become an increasingly powerful tool used to better understand rock and fluid properties. Used by academics and corporations alike, CT imaging creates a more accurate picture of the interactions between rocks and fluids such as water, oil, and gas.This paper explores trends in the history of CT imaging across several geophysical fields. By observing these trends a history of CT imaging can be compiled and further examined. Three main objectives were followed in order to generate insights into CT imaging. The first objective was to build a database that would serve as a representative sample of the papers that make up the current literature of CT imaging in petroleum engineering and the geosciences. The database was limited by the selection criteria and primarily relied on Web of Science to find CT imaging papers. Secondly the CT imaging papers were sorted into various categories such as country of publication and author affiliation. The third objective was to analyze the data and identify geographical institutional affiliations dominating the field of CT imaging in petroleum engineering and the geosciences.CT imaging is a prime example of how technology can transcend disciplinary boundaries. While originating in the medical fields, CT imaging has successfully been adapted to petroleum engineering and the geosciences. This paper documents the impact CT imaging has had from 1984 to 2014 and offers CT imaging as a case study of how a technology created in one field can be a game changer in another.
