That's because it isn't an organ -- It's a property of the brain. Not just PET scans, either; certain parts of the brain "light up" on MRI when experiencing emotions or processing a specific kind of data, such as light or sound.
You can also use a functional MRI (fMRI) to activate a brain region and cause the patient to experience the emotion associated with that region. One particularly notable example is that by stimulating the brain region that is active during a spiritual experience, you can actually cause someone to have a religious experience.
I find it amusing that powerful electromagnets inside a scanner can fake out the brain and make someone think they're feeling the presence of a god.
