Use the Customize dialog to define your defaults for spine labeling.
 | Tip: We recommend before using spine labeling that the mappings for the default body parts (Spine, C-SPINE, L-SPINE and T-SPINE) be configured in the IMPAX Administration Tools. Refer to "Adding a body part value to the Body Part list" (topic number 9996) in the Administration Tools component of the IMPAX 6.5.1 Server Knowledge Base. |
