An adapter for use with a syringe and a power injector includes an outer ring having a first end configured for passage of an end of a syringe having at least one flange. An inner ring is disposed coaxially within the outer ring. The inner ring has a first end including at least one flange slot. A magnet fixed relative to the inner ring such that when the syringe end is disposed in the outer ring and the at least one flange engages the at least one flange slot, rotation of the syringe causes rotation of the inner ring and magnet relative to the outer ring.
