Why the Carestream CS 8100

The simplicity you need.
The image quality you demand.

The CS 8100 Evo Edition packs professional panoramic imaging into one of the most compact, easy-to-use units on the market. Each card shows the feature, what advantage it gives you clinically, and the benefit to your practice.

01 Feature

Tomosharp Technology

Advantage

Proprietary algorithms recognise where the anatomy is sharpest and automatically reconstruct the best possible image — even when the patient is not perfectly aligned.

Benefit

Fewer retakes, more consistent diagnostic quality. Your team spends less time repositioning patients and more time treating them.

02 Feature

Laser-free Face-to-face Positioning

Advantage

A thicker focal trough means positioning is forgiving and fast — no lasers, no mirrors. Face-to-face contact lets you watch and communicate with the patient throughout.

Benefit

Faster patient throughput, better compliance from anxious patients, and improved positioning accuracy for the whole team.

03 Feature

Ultra-compact 33 cm Footprint

Advantage

At just 33 cm wide in resting position, the CS 8100 is one of the most compact OPG units available. It fits into tight spaces without structural modifications.

Benefit

Bring panoramic imaging in-house without expensive room alterations. Ideal for practices where space is genuinely limited.

04 Feature

CS Adapt Image Processing

Advantage

Four processing modes (Original, T-Mat, Sharp, Smooth) plus anatomic Endo and Perio filters give you precise control over how images look on screen.

Benefit

Every clinician gets images optimised for their diagnostic purpose without needing post-processing software or additional steps.

05 Feature

Upgradeable to Ceph or 3D CBCT

Advantage

Add the CS 8100SC cephalometric arm at any time. Or upgrade to full 3D CBCT via a software key — FOVs from 4×4 cm up to 8×9 cm.

Benefit

Buy the panoramic you need today. Add ceph or 3D as your caseload grows — without replacing the whole unit.

06 Feature

CS Imaging Version 8 Software

Advantage

One platform for all your 2D, 3D, intraoral and CAD/CAM imaging data. Integrates with all major practice management and imaging software.

Benefit

One-stop access to every patient image in your practice. No switching between programmes, no data silos.

“The unit provides sharp images with more detail and the learning curve is minimal. Simply put, capturing a panoramic image has never been easier.”
Dr Bartley Labiner, D.D.S.

Imaging Programmes

Perfect for
everyday needs.

The CS 8100 covers the full range of routine panoramic programmes your practice needs — all selectable with a single preset, no complex configuration required.

🦷
Standard Panoramic
Full-arch panoramic with Tomosharp processing for consistently sharp images regardless of minor positioning variation. Your workhorse programme.
👶
Paediatric Programme
Dedicated paediatric preset with a reduced exposure field for lower dose and appropriate imaging geometry for smaller dental arches.
✂️
Segmented Bitewing
Captures bitewing-equivalent images in one panoramic exposure. A specific trajectory reduces tooth overlap for diagnostic-quality interproximal views.
📊
TMJ ×2 and ×4
Dedicated TMJ programmes capturing bilateral joint images in two or four exposures — open and closed mouth positions available for comprehensive TMJ assessment.
🔬
Maxillary Sinus
Focused sinus programme for assessment of maxillary sinus pathology — useful for pre-implant evaluation and sinus lift planning without a CBCT dose.
📷
2D+ Thin Slicing
Reconstructs thin tomographic slices from a single panoramic acquisition, giving additional cross-sectional information when a full CBCT isn’t clinically justified.

Optional Upgrade

Add cephalometric imaging
whenever you’re ready.

The CS 8100SC cephalometric arm attaches cleanly to the CS 8100, turning your OPG into a combined panoramic and ceph unit. It’s one of the smallest ceph attachments on the market — and one of the fastest, with a 3-second scan time and automatic landmark tracing completed in just 10 seconds.

Order it with the unit or retrofit at any time. Add it when orthodontics or surgical planning demands it — not before.

3-second scan — fastest in class
18×24 cm lateral image in Quick mode. Reduces patient exposure and eliminates motion blur.
📌
Auto-tracing in 10 seconds
Saves 3–8 minutes per case. Covers Ricketts, MacNamara, Steiner, Tweed and more.

26×24 cm (cranial), 18×24 cm (standard) and 18×18 cm (reduced) — selectable to minimise patient dose.

Common Questions

Got questions?
We’ve got answers.

What does the guide price of £9,870 + VAT include?
The guide price covers the CS 8100 unit itself. It excludes the acquisition PC, critical examination and installation. We include installation and training as standard — call us for a full all-in quote tailored to your practice.
What PC does the CS 8100 need?
The CS 8100 requires a dedicated Windows 11 (64-bit) acquisition PC meeting Carestream’s published specifications. We advise on this as part of our pre-installation planning and can source a compliant PC if needed.
Can I add ceph later, or does it need to be ordered at the same time?
The CS 8100SC cephalometric arm can be added at any time. It retrofits to the existing unit. You don’t need to commit at purchase — though many practices order it together to save on a second installation visit.
Can the CS 8100 be upgraded to 3D CBCT?
Yes — the CS 8100 upgrades to the CS 8100 3D via a software key and additional hardware, giving you CBCT FOVs from 4×4 cm to 8×9 cm. A cost-effective path to in-house 3D without replacing the entire unit.
What room size does the CS 8100 need?
Minimum 1,200 × 1,400 × 2,400 mm without ceph; 2,000 × 1,400 × 2,400 mm with ceph. At 33 cm wide in resting position it fits spaces where larger OPG units cannot. We offer a free room survey before installation.
Do I need an RPA and a critical examination before using it?
Yes — UK regulations require a Radiation Protection Adviser (RPA) relationship and a critical examination before clinical use. We advise on both as part of our installation process and can recommend qualified RPAs in your area.
What is Tomosharp and does it make a real difference?
Tomosharp is Carestream’s proprietary image reconstruction technology. It analyses the full acquisition and reconstructs the sharpest possible 2D panoramic — even correcting for minor patient movement or positioning error. In practice it significantly reduces the need for retakes.
Is finance available on the CS 8100?
Yes — we work with Bramar, Performance Finance and Aspired Finance. Monthly payments make the CS 8100 very accessible. Call us and we’ll find the right deal for your practice and cash flow.
🏆 Do you really price match?
Yes — unconditionally. If you find a genuine like-for-like quote from another authorised UK Carestream dealer, show us and we will beat it. No minimum purchase, no small print. We set competitive prices because we want to earn your business, not just take it. Call 01943 601222 and ask about our price guarantee.
