1. A system for imaging in a wellbore comprising:
a downhole completion assembly that comprises,
a packer in the wellbore that forms a barrier to fluid flowing in the wellbore and isolates zones above and below the packer from one another, and
an annular receptacle disposed in the packer having sidewalls and a closed end that is disposed downhole of the packer; and
an imaging tool that is selectively inserted inside the receptacle, so that when a lower end of the imaging tool is adjacent the closed end and downhole of the packer, the imaging tool is in imaging communication with formation surrounding the wellbore at a depth in the wellbore that is greater than the packer when selectively inserted into the receptacle.
