The Annual Meeting Program Committee invites abstract submissions to be presented in oral sessions, as conventional posters, and as electronic posters at the ISMRM 16th Scientific Meeting & Exhibition, 3-9 May 2008. Submissions must contain new, previously unpublished material. All abstracts must be submitted electronically via the ISMRM Website. No paper forms will be available. Any abstract submitted on paper will not be considered for review. The deadline for receipt of abstracts is 7 November 2007 - 23:59 US Eastern time. The abstract submission site will be open for abstract submissions on 31 August 2007.

A 100-word synopsis of each abstract must also be submitted. It should include a brief description of the problem, methods, results, and conclusions. It must include text only, with no equations or images and no references or citations to items described in the full abstract. To conserve space and provide authors greater opportunity to clarify their projects, the synopsis should NOT appear in the actual abstract submission.

The abstract should be submitted in a single-column format, according to the instructions found online.
You will be able to compose your abstract and then upload it for submission. Please click here for detailed instructions for preparing and submitting your abstract. All copyrights to accepted abstracts become the property of ISMRM. No proprietary information may be withheld by authors.

Poster Presentation Options
If you wish to have your abstract considered for poster presentation, you will be able to choose between two presentation options:

1. Traditional poster presentation. Your abstract will be published in the Proceedings, and your poster will be presented in the poster hall. You will stand at your poster during your assigned poster session to answer questions and discuss your work with colleagues.

2. Electronic multimedia poster presentation. Your abstract will be published in the Proceedings. You will also be asked to submit your poster in PowerPoint format in advance of the meeting. This poster format also allows inclusion of multimedia data. You will stand at your e-poster station during your assigned poster session to answer questions and discuss your work with colleagues.
