About
Dr. Masato Hoshino is a leading figure in high-energy X-ray imaging and synchrotron-based tomography, with his work centered at the SPring-8 facility in Japan. His primary research areas include the development of advanced computed tomography (CT) systems and the automation of high-resolution imaging for materials science. Hoshino’s most notable contribution is the creation of a fully automatic high-energy X-ray tomography system at SPring-8 BL28B2, which utilizes 200 keV X-rays to probe the internal structures of dense materials. By integrating a sample exchange robot, a high-definition X-ray camera, and the SP8-DC computing technology, he pioneered a seamless workflow that automates the entire process—from measurement to image reconstruction. This innovation significantly enhances throughput and precision in non-destructive testing. While his most cited paper, detailing this system, has garnered 1 citation as of 2024, its impact is growing as it enables researchers to study complex material interiors with unprecedented efficiency. Hoshino’s work exemplifies the synergy between instrumentation and automation, making him a key contributor to synchrotron radiation science and a vital resource for students and researchers exploring advanced imaging techniques.
