Scientific & Educational Exhibits

The Annual Scientific Meeting Group invites Radiologists, Residents, trainees and other medical professionals to submit an abstract for presentation in any area of Radiology. We encourage you to tie in this year’s theme: “Innovation in Imaging.” Deadline for submissions was January 19, 2012.

There are two exhibit categories – scientific and educational. Your abstract submission must clearly indicate the category for which you wish to be considered.

Scientific Exhibit – describes a hypothesis-driven research project with defined outcomes and a reasonable sample size. Case reports should not be submitted to this category.

Educational Exhibit – an informative exhibit designed to review known facts. Provide a synthesis of such facts, relate them in new ways or extract common threads from diverse data. They should aim at being memorable, potentially influencing clinical behaviours and as simple and direct as the topic permits.
