Front-loading syringe adapter for front-loading medical injector

An adapter for connecting a syringe comprising a plunger to an injector comprising a drive piston and at least one sensor, the adapter comprising:

• a piston extension having a first end and a second end, the first end comprising a first connector member adapted to be connected to the drive piston and a second end comprising a second connector member comprising threads mateable with and adapted to be connected to threads formed on the plunger of the syringe;
• an adapter face plate for attaching the syringe to the injector, the adapter face plate comprising a mounting device for attaching the adapter face plate to the injector and an attachment mechanism adapted to removably mount the syringe to the injector;
• and
• at least one device adapted to cooperate with at least one sensor on the injector when the adapter face plate is attached to the injector.

An adapter for connecting a syringe comprising a plunger to an injector comprising a drive piston and a sensor, the adapter comprising:

• a piston extension having a first end and a second end, the first end comprising a first connector member defining a slot adapted to be engaged with an attachment flange formed on the drive piston and a second end comprising a second connector member comprising threads mateable with and adapted to be connected to threads formed on the plunger of the syringe;
• an adapter face plate for attaching the syringe to the injector, the adapter face plate comprising two mounting ears positioned in substantially opposed relation to one another for attaching the adapter face plate to the injector and an attachment mechanism defining a recess for receiving at least one flange of the syringe to removably mount the syringe to the injector;
• and
• a device on at least one of the two mounting ears, the device adapted to cooperate with the sensor on the injector when the adapter face plate is attached to the injector.
