Zusammenfassung:A positron emission tomography imaging system (100) includes a plurality of gamma detector elements (130i), a plurality of detector cassettes (140j), and mounting frame (150). Each detector cassette (140j) is configured to replaceably receive a plurality of gamma detector elements (130i). The mounting frame (150) is configured to replaceably receive the detector cassettes (140j) at a plurality of angular positions (fk) around the axis (120) of the bore (110) such that at each angular position (fk) a plurality of detector cassettes (140j) are receivable along a direction parallel to the axis (120) of the bore (110), and a plurality of gamma detector elements (130i) are receivable within a cassette (140j) in a transaxial direction with respect to the axis (120) of the bore (110).
