A Variable Flow Rate protocol injects a set Volume of contrast at a Flow Rate determined by the Hand
Controller. As an operator depresses the Hand Controller plunger, the system increases the flow rate
until it reaches the maximum Flow Rate set by the operator.
NOTE:
If the Variable Flow Rate option is not visible, go to the Display Control Unit Options
tab to enable MEDRAD VFlow. See "6.4 - Options Tab" .
