A PET detector module suitable for using in a PET/MR hybrid system is provided. The PET detector module comprises a scintillator (303), a set of frontend electronics (410) and a positioning means configured to securing relative position between the scintillator (303) and the frontend electronics (410). The PET detector module may further comprise a temperature control system (104), such as an air-cooling system or a heat exchange plate (412, 703). The heat exchange plate (412, 703) comprises a fluidic passage (701) for containing a flow of a heat exchange media. The heat exchange plate (412, 703) is suitable for use in the magnetic field environment of a MRI system. |
