Used Carestream CBCT FOB Shanghai: CS 9300 Select, CS 9000 3D at USD 9,000-10,000

Carestream Dental (CS) is one of the leading global dental imaging manufacturers, with its CBCT and panoramic units widely installed across North America, Europe, and Asia. The CS 9000 3D and CS 9300 series are particularly common in dental specialty practice — endodontic and implant-focused clinics have adopted these for their small-FOV high-resolution capability. For buyers searching for used Carestream CBCT, our Shanghai warehouse currently stocks CS 9300 Select and CS 9000 3D at USD 9,000–10,000 FOB Shanghai (or EXW). For reference: 2018 CS-8100 3D on US used market lists around USD 25,000; our Shanghai pricing on comparable vintage CS 9300 units is roughly one-third of that.

Carestream CS 9300 Select — Multi-FOV CBCT Platform

Platform overview

The CS 9300 Select is Carestream’s multi-FOV CBCT platform designed for versatility across clinical applications. The key differentiator is the user-selectable FOV range — from small single-tooth focused imaging up to full craniofacial. For multi-disciplinary practices or specialty clinics needing flexibility, the CS 9300 Select handles endodontic small-FOV, single-tooth implant, full-arch implant, orthodontic, and airway imaging in one platform.

Clinical specifications

• Modality: CBCT 3D volume imaging
• FOV range: typically 5×5 cm (endodontic/small implant) up to 17×13.5 cm (full craniofacial) — one of the widest FOV ranges in the dental CBCT market
• Voxel resolution: multiple options from 90µm high-resolution down to 300µm for large-FOV dose-conscious protocols
• Panoramic capability: some CS 9300 configurations include integrated panoramic mode
• Cephalometric: optional module (ceph arm); stock units may or may not include ceph — confirm per unit
• Software: CS Imaging (Carestream’s DICOM-compatible imaging platform)

Best fit for

• Multi-specialty practice needing versatile FOV range
• Comprehensive general practice with implant + endodontic + orthodontic workflow
• Academic / teaching institution with varied clinical research and teaching applications
• Buyer wanting flexible capability without committing to specialized narrow-use platform

Used market context

New CS 9300 retails USD 80,000–110,000 depending on FOV and configuration. US used markets list CS 9300 units at USD 28,000–45,000 typical. Our FOB Shanghai at USD 9,000–10,000 reflects direct-from-Asia inventory, vintage typically 2013–2018.

Carestream CS 9000 3D — Compact Small-FOV CBCT

Platform overview

The CS 9000 3D is Carestream’s compact small-FOV CBCT, purpose-built for endodontic specialty and single-tooth focused imaging. Compact footprint, focused capability, quick scan protocols. Widely adopted by endodontic specialists globally.

Clinical specifications

• Modality: Focused-FOV CBCT for single-tooth / small-volume imaging
• FOV range: typically 5×3 cm, 5×5 cm, 8×5 cm — explicitly small-FOV targeting
• Voxel resolution: high-resolution 76–90µm available for endodontic detail
• Scan time: quick 6–12 second scans matching endodontic workflow rhythm
• Software: CS Imaging with endodontic-optimized tools

Best fit for

• Endodontic specialty practice — this is the core target market
• General practice with heavy endodontic case mix
• Single-tooth implant planning workflow
• Compact operatory space where large-FOV CBCT isn’t feasible
• Budget-conscious CBCT entry for focused specialty application

Clinical applications

• Accessory canal detection in endodontic diagnosis
• Vertical root fracture (VRF) identification
• Missed canal location in retreatment cases
• Peri-radicular pathology characterization
• External cervical resorption diagnosis
• Apicoectomy surgical planning
• Single-tooth implant planning with adjacent root preservation

Why Carestream used equipment holds up well

• Proven reliability: CS 9000 3D and CS 9300 have long installed-base track record in demanding clinical environments; field-demonstrated mechanical and electronic reliability
• DICOM interoperability: strong DICOM implementation, works cleanly with third-party planning software (InVivoDental, coDiagnostiX, Blue Sky Plan, Dolphin)
• Image quality: Carestream CBCT image quality has been clinically competitive since these models launched; used unit quality equals contemporary new mid-tier CBCT
• Compact footprint: particularly CS 9000 3D is smaller than many alternatives, easing installation
• Global service network: Carestream has broader international service network than some competitors

What USD 9,000–10,000 includes on Carestream units

• Main unit fully tested before shipment
• CS Imaging software pre-installed on configured PC with monitor
• Pre-shipment video demonstration — unit powered on, full rotation, sample image on video with your company name & date
• Calibration data backup
• Export-grade wooden crate

• Email / WhatsApp support for installation

Carestream-specific considerations

CS Imaging software

Units ship with CS Imaging at the version current to the unit’s original configuration. Full DICOM export supported. Newer CS Imaging versions or cloud integration typically require Carestream licensing authorization — buyer’s responsibility.

Carestream service network

Carestream maintains authorized service networks in most major markets. Like all gray-market used equipment, service availability for units purchased outside authorized channels varies by destination-country distributor policy. Many local independent dental imaging technicians service Carestream hardware. Check with Carestream distributor in your country before purchase.

Parts availability

Carestream maintains parts supply for older CS 9000 and CS 9300 model ranges; generally good parts availability. Detector replacement (the most expensive single component) is available at typical USD 15,000–25,000 cost through Carestream channels if ever needed.

Year of manufacture

Carestream inventory is typically 2013–2018 vintage. Exposure count confirmed per unit.

Installation considerations

• Floor space: CS 9000 3D fits 1.7×1.5 m (compact footprint advantage); CS 9300 Select requires 2.2×1.8 m plus optional ceph arm extension
• Ceiling height: 2.4 m minimum
• Electrical: dedicated 20–30 A circuit
• Radiation shielding: 1.0–1.5 mm lead equivalent for CS 9000 3D; 1.5–2.0 mm lead equivalent for CS 9300 Select at full FOV
• Network: gigabit LAN; CS Imaging supports multi-station database

Use case comparison: CS 9000 3D vs CS 9300 Select

• Pure endodontic practice: CS 9000 3D is ideal — compact footprint, focused small-FOV capability, endodontic-optimized software
• Implant-focused general practice: either works; CS 9300 Select if practice wants capability to also do orthodontic cases or TMJ, CS 9000 3D if implant is single-tooth focused
• Multi-disciplinary practice: CS 9300 Select multi-FOV range handles broader clinical application spectrum
• Space-constrained operatory: CS 9000 3D compact footprint wins
• Budget priority: at USD 9,000–10,000 FOB Shanghai, either unit is exceptional value — match the clinical application fit

Common questions specific to used Carestream

Is the CS Imaging software version current?

Units ship with CS Imaging at the software version from the unit’s original configuration period. Full clinical functionality is intact — panoramic, CBCT (where applicable), 3D volume reconstruction, DICOM export, measurement tools, and third-party software integration. Major Carestream platform upgrades requiring new licensing would be separate Carestream arrangement.

Does CS 9000 3D include any 2D panoramic capability?

CS 9000 3D is primarily small-FOV 3D CBCT. Some configurations include limited panoramic reconstruction from CBCT volume; full dedicated 2D panoramic capability depends on specific unit configuration. Confirm panoramic capability per unit in inquiry.

What is the CBCT FOV specifically?

For CS 9000 3D: typically 5×3, 5×5, 8×5 cm. For CS 9300 Select: wider range from small FOV up to 17×13.5 cm depending on specific unit. FOV range confirmed per unit on inquiry.
