Four fields.
One workflow.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
