1. A medical fluid injector comprising:

  • a drive ram having a longitudinal axis;

    a motor to move the drive ram along the longitudinal axis;

    a syringe mount comprising first and second members that are pivotable toward and away from one another, the first member being pivotable about a first pivot axis, and the second member being pivotable about a second pivot axis different from the first pivot axis, wherein a line connecting the first and second pivot axes does not intersect the longitudinal axis of the drive ram, wherein the first and second members of the syringe mount, when in a first position, are engaged with a rearward end of a syringe to substantially immobilize the syringe relative to the motor, and wherein the first and second members of the syringe mount, when in a second position, are disengaged from the rearward end of the syringe so that the syringe may be removed from the syringe mount; and

    a sensor for determining whether the first and second members of the syringe mount are in the first position or the second position.
