Abstract: The invention concerns a device for identification of a detector unit in an X-ray imaging apparatus. For this purpose there is a detector unit (1a or 1b or 1c . . . ), selected from a group (10) of different detector array units (1a, 1b, 1c . . . ), and a transmitter-receiver (8) at side(s) of a space (V) for said object or a rack for storing those detector units belonging to said group. Recognition means (11) or a sensor units capable of detecting presence and absence of the detector units is also provided, as well as a communication line (2) for providing identification data concerning the presence (P2) or absence of a single detector unit in a predetermined volume or place.
