§ 01 · FOV Catalogue

Every CBCT decision is really a FOV decision. Small field = higher resolution and lower dose but smaller scope; large field = broader view but coarser voxels. The CS 9300 Select lets you make that choice per-patient instead of per-machine — four calibrated volumes, 90 to 500 μm voxels, selected from the same console.

5 × 5 Endo / localized

Scan time12 s Voxel90 μm Typical doseLowest Single tooth, root canal morphology, peri-apical pathology, small cysts, third-molar proximity to IAN.

8 × 8 Quadrant / TMJ Scan time~20 s Voxel180 μm (std) Typical doseLow Quadrant surgery, single-site implant planning, unilateral TMJ, impacted canines, supernumerary teeth.

10 × 5 Single arch Scan time~20 s Voxel180–200 μm Typical doseModerate A full maxillary or mandibular arch in a single volume — multi-site implant planning without vertical overkill.

Flagship FOV 10 × 10 Full dentition Scan time20–28 s Voxel200–300 μm Typical doseHigher Both arches plus adjacent anatomy — full-arch orthognathic planning, bilateral TMJ, comprehensive implant cases.

Dose awareness

Pick the smallest field that answers the clinical question.

The ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) isn't a catchphrase — it's the operating logic of CBCT. A 10 × 10 cm volume carries substantially more dose than a 5 × 5 cm one; using the larger FOV when the clinical question is localised wastes dose and contrast. The CS 9300 Select's four-step catalogue makes that discipline enforceable at the console, not just aspirational on a poster.

Voxel vs FOV trade-off

Voxel availability shifts with FOV and protocol. The full 90–500 μm range is selectable at the console; we can walk you through recommended presets on delivery.

§ 02 · Three-in-One Architecture

Two imaging arms, three modalities, one patient positioning system. The cone-beam/panoramic head and the cephalometric arm share the same column and generator — so one room, one install, one calibration cycle replaces what most practices still split across two or three machines.

Modality 01

3D Cone-Beam CT

TFT flat-panel sensor, continuous and pulse scan modes, 12–28 second acquisitions across four selectable fields of view. Reconstructions complete in under two minutes on the recommended workstation.

§ 03 · Carestream family map

We stock both the CS 9000 3D and the CS 9300 Select, and we can source the full CS 9300 on request. Here's an honest, side-by-side look at where each sits — so you buy the one that matches your work, not the one with the most impressive datasheet.

Simple rule of thumb: if every one of your CBCT cases would fit inside a 5 × 3.7 cm window, buy the CS 9000 3D and enjoy the 76 μm voxel and One-Shot ceph. If your cases are general-practice mixed and some of them need a quadrant or both arches, buy the CS 9300 Select — this page. If you routinely image skull-base, airway, or TMJ sweeps beyond the dentition, you want the full CS 9300 and we can source one for you.

§ 04 · Clinical applications

The CS 9300 Select's value proposition is precisely the general practice: a single system that handles six common workflows without compromise. Here's how each FOV maps to the clinical reality.

01 Recommended FOV · 10 × 10

Comprehensive implant planning

Multi-site edentulous or partially-edentulous cases where you need to see both arches, the antagonist dentition, and anatomical landmarks (IAN, sinus floor, incisive canal) in a single volume for guided-surgery export.

02 Recommended FOV · 10 × 10 + Ceph

Orthodontic diagnosis & growth assessment

Full-arch volume for impacted teeth, skeletal assessment, and asymmetry, paired with a 24×30 or 30×30 cm lateral cephalogram for standard orthodontic tracing workflows.

03 Recommended FOV · 8 × 8

Oral & maxillofacial surgery

Surgical planning for impacted third molars, supernumerary teeth, cysts and benign lesions — the 8 × 8 FOV gives localised context without committing to full-arch dose.

04 Recommended FOV · 5 × 5

Endodontic diagnosis

Complex root canal morphology, peri-apical pathology, resorption assessment and vertical root fractures at 90 μm voxel — the highest resolution this system offers, matched to a target-sized volume.

05 Recommended FOV · 10 × 5

Single-arch implant workflows

A complete maxillary or mandibular arch captured in one volume without the vertical extent of full-arch scans — ideal for 2-to-4 site implant cases contained within one jaw.

06 Recommended · Panoramic + 8 × 8

Periodontal & general diagnostic

Screening panoramic as the first-line exam, with 3D follow-up on flagged regions using 8 × 8 or 5 × 5 — the workflow most dental practices actually run, without bouncing patients between machines.

§ 05 · Shanghai warehouse

We supply the original operator manual and service documentation where available, and can verify IEC 60601 medical-electrical compliance markings on the unit before shipment.

§ 08 · Brand heritage

Carestream Dental is the direct corporate successor to Eastman Kodak's Health Imaging division — spun out in 2007, headquartered in Atlanta since, and still carrying the imaging research DNA that shaped medical radiography for most of the 20th century.

That's not a marketing story — it's why parts availability, service documentation, and global dealer coverage remain strong for a platform first released in the early 2010s. You're not buying into an orphaned brand; you're buying a long-lifecycle Western OEM still actively selling the platform today.

§ 09 · Our refurb process

Every system we ship goes through the same five-stage protocol. No pre-owned unit leaves our facility without completing the full sequence — whether it's a CS 9300 Select, a Papaya 3D Plus, or any other platform in the catalogue.

01 Inspection

Incoming unit is documented (photos, serial, tube-hour count), functional testing performed on all three modalities, structural assessment of chassis and movement mechanisms.

02 Deep service

Disassembly to subsystem level, full clean of the detector, sensor check, cable harness inspection, replacement of consumables (bite blocks, chin rests, temple stabilizers).

03 Calibration

Geometric calibration using OEM phantoms, dose verification across all four FOVs, panoramic layer-shell calibration, cephalometric magnification check.

04 Test scans

Complete test suite on Alderson / Quart phantoms: 5×5, 8×8, 10×5, 10×10 volumes, panoramic, ceph lateral & AP, exported as DICOM for customer review.

05 Packaging

Unit wrapped, crated in plywood export crate (fumigation-certified for ISPM 15), loaded FOB Shanghai with full documentation pack: commercial invoice, packing list, CE docs, calibration certificate.

§ 10 · Frequently asked What's the difference between the CS 9300 Select and the full CS 9300? +

They share the same chassis, tube, generator, and sensor hardware. The difference is strictly in the 3D field-of-view catalogue:

• CS 9300 Select: four FOVs — 5×5, 8×8, 10×5, 10×10 cm
• Full CS 9300: seven FOVs — adds 17×6, 17×11, 17×13.5 cm (skull-base / airway sizes)

For practices that don't routinely image beyond the dentition, the Select version delivers the same image quality at materially lower cost. Some units are firmware-upgradable, but we don't promise upgrade paths — treat the Select as a Select.

How do I choose between the CS 9000 3D and the CS 9300 Select? +

Two very different tools that share the Carestream name. Pick by caseload:

• If ≥ 80% of your CBCT cases fit a 5 × 3.7 cm window (endo, single-tooth, single-implant) — and you care about voxel resolution above all else — the CS 9000 3D gives you 76 μm isotropic + One-Shot ceph at lower cost.
• If you run a mixed caseload — implant planning, ortho, surgery, endo — and some cases need a full arch or both arches, the CS 9300 Select is the right buy.

If you genuinely need skull-base and airway imaging (sleep dentistry, orthognathic surgery, maxillofacial), neither fits — you want the full CS 9300; we can source one.

How does the Select compare to the Genoray Papaya 3D Plus (same price range)? +

Both are 3-in-1 systems in the $22–38 K range, but they come from different design philosophies:

• CS 9300 Select — American (Carestream/Kodak heritage), four FOVs max 10×10 cm, TFT sensors, CS 3D Imaging software.
• Papaya 3D Plus — Korean (Genoray), 19 FOV options up to 16×9 cm, three dedicated sensors (one per modality), broader FOV catalogue.

Buy Carestream for heritage brand, Kodak-lineage parts availability, and the cleaner CS 3D Imaging workflow. Buy Papaya for more FOV granularity and dedicated per-modality sensors. Both are good systems; the choice comes down to brand preference and how much you value FOV granularity vs. ecosystem stability.

Is the cephalometric module included by default? +

The cephalometric arm is a factory-option module. We currently stock both configurations — with and without ceph. Weight-wise the 3-in-1 unit is 199 kg vs 160 kg for the pan+3D-only variant, and the footprint extends from 1158 mm to 2137 mm in length with the ceph arm installed. Please specify on enquiry; pricing is $22–28 K for the no-ceph variant and $28–38 K for the full 3-in-1.

What PC hardware do I need to run the reconstructions and software? +

The CS 9300 Select reconstructs in under 2 minutes on Carestream's recommended PC configuration — roughly equivalent to a modern workstation with:

• Intel i7 / Xeon or AMD Ryzen 7 equivalent, 6+ cores
• 32 GB RAM (16 GB minimum)
• NVIDIA discrete GPU with 4 GB+ VRAM
• 512 GB+ SSD for fast volume I/O
• Windows 10/11 Pro (64-bit)

We can supply a pre-configured acquisition PC on request, or help spec one to local procurement — confirm at time of quote.

Will Carestream itself support this unit in my country? +

Yes — Carestream Dental maintains a global dealer network and the CS 9300 family remains in their active sales and service portfolio. Direct service contracts with Carestream are typically available in North America, Europe, the Gulf, Southeast Asia and Latin America. In markets without direct Carestream presence, third-party service technicians familiar with the platform are common because of the large global installed base. We'll point you to the nearest support channel as part of delivery.

What's included, and what's the warranty? +

Every shipment includes:

• CBCT unit (with or without ceph, as ordered), fully assembled and calibrated
• CS 3D Imaging software media & installation guidance
• Original operator manual (where available)
• Calibration certificate from our test run
• Export-grade plywood crate (ISPM 15 fumigation certified)
• Commercial invoice, packing list, CE / compliance documentation

Warranty: 3-month limited hardware warranty on tube, generator and detector (extendable to 6 or 12 months on request). Installation and training videos/support provided remotely.

Not included: site preparation, electrical installation, radiation shielding, local import duties or VAT, customs clearance, inland haulage from destination port.

Can you provide test scan DICOMs before shipment? +

Yes, as a matter of course. Every unit gets a final test run on all four FOVs, a panoramic, and a cephalometric (if the ceph module is included). We send the resulting DICOM files — along with full unit photos and the tube-hour report — by cloud link for your review before you approve the shipment.

How does the FOB Shanghai process work? What are my shipping options? +

Under FOB Shanghai, we deliver the crated unit to the vessel at the Port of Shanghai; from that point, ocean freight, insurance and destination handling are your responsibility (you or your freight forwarder). Typical routes:

• Sea freight (LCL or 20ft FCL): the standard option. Roughly 25-40 days to most major destinations depending on route. Crated dimensions fit one pallet position.
• Air freight: available for urgent delivery but significantly more expensive given unit weight (~260 kg crated).
• Express courier: not recommended for this weight class.

We can quote CIF terms as an alternative if you'd prefer we handle ocean freight and insurance — just ask.
