Cone Beam CT is the future of imaging.
As you can see from the images here, Cone Beam CT (CBCT for short) allows the practitioner to view and analyze the spine in more precise detail than ever imaged with standard xray. Using individual slices of the xray to remove overlapping anatomy, gives us the ability to see each joint perfectly. The founder of the Blair technique once said "to adjust a joint, you should look at the joint" and this gives us the best possible view.

Normal xrays overlap all of the structures which can make it hard to see exactly what we need to see.
CBCT allows us to see a slice of the anatomy, hiding anything in front/behind what we need to see, giving us a clearer picture of the anatomy.
Any angle is possible with a 3D image
