- E-Poster (I.POS)can be a scientific exhibit (I.POS.sci), educational exhibit (I.POS.edu), I.POS.cases, (case series), I.POS.signs, or I.POS.spotters.
- • Scientific exhibit
(I.POS.sci):
A scientific exhibit is an original research paper. Scientific exhibits can be theme-driven research with a comprehensive report; a work-in-progress report of ongoing research of emerging ideas and techniques with preliminary results; or a brief report of a particular new aspect or understanding of clinical radiology.
• Educational exhibit
(I.POS.edu):
Educational exhibits should have substantial or novel educative value for the delegates. These exhibits should be designed to teach or review radiologic observations, pathologic correlations, procedures, techniques, treatments, and interventions or other aspects related to the practice of imaging and intervention. Examples include a review of a topic, pictorial essays, and “how-to” demonstrations. The abstract should reflect the educational aspect and end it by two or three teaching points related to the e-poster.
•
I.POS.cases:
Isolated case reports with at least 3 cases are necessary to be considered in this category. Unless the condition is very unique and of high educational value, the abstract may not be accepted.
•
I.POS.signs:
Designed to teach or review radiologic signs. Minimum of 5 and maximum of 10 signs based on a theme, system, imaging appearance, pathology, or organ is allowed. Maximum of 12 slides allowed in this section; the abstract should reflect the planned presentation and list various signs, reasons for the name, and educative value.
•
I.POS.spotters:
Designed to teach or review radiologic “Aunt Minnie” cases and typical findings based on a theme, system, imaging appearance, pathology, or organ; a maximum of 5 spotters per system is allowed per abstract. Each case is covered in a single slide with the answer on the next slide with an explanation (max 12 slides including the title and end slide). The abstract should enumerate the cases planned and explain the common theme underlying these cases and the educative value.
•
I.POS.play:
This is an opportunity for oral presentation (5 minutes) of selected high-quality posters (scientific or educational) in an informal setting in the main Poster Hall. It will be made available on invitation based on complete e-poster review and consent for the same; no separate abstract submission is necessary.
•
I.POS.print:
This is a printed poster display of selected high-quality posters in an informal setting in the main Poster Hall. It will be made available on invitation and acceptance of the same after reviewing the complete e-poster by the reviewers. No separate abstract submission is necessary.
• Applied science presentations
(under scientific I.POS):
Applied science presentations are limited to applied physics, techniques, statistics, commerce, economics, epidemiology, work culture, artificial intelligence, etc., which discuss or demonstrate practical applications designed to improve the clinical practice of radiology or the management of healthcare data. Applied science presentations may require an in-person presentation (I.POS-play).
Provide references as appropriate and use full sentences and bulleted items, as appropriate.
Once the abstract is accepted, an email communication will be sent to the presenting author. The entire e-poster (scientific/educational) (max 16 slides – including the first and last slide and max 12 slides for the I.POS.signs and I.POS.spotters), should be uploaded via the website, before the “I.POS” submission deadline date. Submissions exceeding the number of slides, gross deviation from the abstract, and late submissions may not be accepted.
