Abstract
A front-loading syringe, which comprises a movable plunger for injecting liquid contrast media, is mountable on a front wall of an injector housing having a pressure jacket, by a first quick release mechanism. At the same time, the plunger is connected to an injector drive mechanism by a second readily releasable mechanism. During the mounting operation, a sensor reads injection information from an indicator device on the syringe and feeds it to an injector control. An injection end of the syringe may include loop-shaped reinforcing handle portions.
