Abstract
A syringe retaining element protruding radially outward relative to an outer surface of a sidewall of a barrel of a syringe is described. The syringe retaining element is configured for interacting with a locking mechanism of a syringe port of a fluid injector to releasably retain the ring. Features of the syringe retaining element allow the syringe to be axially ejected from the syringe port upon rotation of the syringe. Other features of the syringe retaining element allow the syringe to engage the locking mechanism of the syringe port and rotationally guide the syringe into self-orienting alignment with the locking mechanism.
