Abstract
An identification device for a part of a medical imaging apparatus includes: an identifier carrier fixed to a shell of the part and storing information of an identifier of the part, a housing configured to cover the identifier carrier, an image capturing component provided on the housing, and a processor configured to control the image capturing component to capture an image and acquire the identifier of the part based on a captured image. The processor is configured to perform deviation check on a current image captured by the image capturing apparatus currently and an initial image captured by the image capturing component previously and determine whether the identifier of the part has been tampered with or replaced based on a result of the deviation check.
