Abstract
A detector module unit according to an embodiment includes a detecting element array, signal processing circuitry, a holding plate, and a casing. In the detecting element array, a plurality of detecting elements each configured to convert radiation into an electrical signal are arranged. The signal processing circuitry is configured to process the electrical signals. The holding plate is configured to hold the detecting element array and the signal processing circuitry. The casing is thermally connected to the signal processing circuitry and has a first face and a second face opposing each other while the holding plate is interposed therebetween. The first face and the second face of the casing each have a fin.
