Claim 0:
1. A method for determining an integrity of a material, comprising:
placing an acoustic logging tool in a wellbore, wherein the acoustic logging tool comprises:
a transmitter on the acoustic logging tool to broadcast a pressure pulse; and
a receiver on the acoustic logging tool to record a reflected pressure pulse;

broadcasting the pressure pulse with the transmitter into a first material, wherein the pressure pulse reflects off an interface of the first material and a pipe string as the reflected pressure pulse;
recording the reflected pressure pulse with a receiver; and
determining the integrity of the material using a Quintero Wellbore Index based at least in part on the reflected pressure pulse, wherein the Quintero Wellbore Index is a series of indices, wherein each index from the series of indices comprises one or more ray paths through a zone of interest, wherein an arrival time of a ray path from the one or more ray paths are subtracted by a theoretical arrival time, wherein the theoretical arrival time is an arrival time of a theoretical ray path traveling through a theoretical zone of interest, and wherein the theoretical zone of interest is 100% water or 100% fast solid cement.
