EPOS 2012 Poster Upload Guidelines - myESR.org

support the text. Therefore the inclusion of images to illustrate your poster is mandatory.Remember the importance of linking the correct image to the text at the appropriate place - a clearlypresented image is often worth a thousand words and the wrong text-image link destroys the validityof the poster. References:The accuracy of references is the responsibility of the authors. Citations in the text should be byArabic numerals in square brackets, e.g. [2, 5, 12]. The list of references should only include worksthat are cited in the text and that have been published.Length of your text / word limitsPlease provide sufficiently detailed information within each section (do not simply transfer thecontents of your abstract into the electronic poster frame), but also consider, that a poster is a muchmore concise format than a journal article.Please note that there is a minimum number of 100 words to be inserted in each section and anoverall maximum number of 800 words.Overall compositionThe composition of your electronic presentation should be logical, well organised, self-explanatoryand as brief as possible. Text should be well structured (use bullets for structuring), presenting onlyenough data to support your conclusions.Tip: Before preparing your poster, have a look at the sample posters, which give you a good pictureof a well-structured electronic poster!Tip: Consider asking an independent colleague (if possible one not involved in the poster) to give anunbiased opinion on the following: The clarity of the presentation, whether it makes the point or notand the relevance and clarity of the images. Edit redundant text and images and double-check thatthe correct links are enabled.If you wish to direct the viewer to further work, please insert a hyperlink in your poster to allowaccess to further information once the attendee arrives home after the meeting.Avoid the promotion of commercial entities and state that the indication is "off-license" ifnecessaryYour presentation must be non-promotional and non-commercial in nature. If, for example,contrast-enhanced images are demonstrated, it is sufficient to state that "... CT images were acquiredafter injection of 200cc of iodinated contrast material (300mg/ml)" or "... after injection of 20cc ofgadolinium chelate (or paramagnetic contrast agent)…" rather than stating which agent was used.However, the specific agent and manufacturer must be clearly mentioned by name in cases where,for example, the central theme of the presentation is demonstrating specific differences betweencontrast agents.Similarly, it is sufficient to state that images were acquired "... at 1.5T" or "... using a 16 slice CTscanner" without mentioning the manufacturer unless there is some compelling reason to do so.It is essential to state that the data presented is "off-label" if the presentation refers to anindication that is not covered by the licensing authorities.ConfidentialityIn all instances patient confidentiality must be protected.No names, hospital ID numbers or any other information that allows the patient to be identified

should appear in illustrations.Please also remember that in case of rare or specific diseases presenting to referral hospitals,patients could potentially be identified by descriptions such as "Bronchial arteriogram in a 32 yearold female with history of Fallot's tetralogy and haemoptysis".A few final points ...If English is not your native language, it is recommended to get your work checked by a nativeEnglish speaker. Once the deadline has passed, content or spelling revisions will not be possibleanymore and the errors remain visible for all in the system.Colour attracts attention, but too much can be distracting. Please make sure that uploaded colouredimages are clear - just because it looks good in one format does not guarantee that the slide will beclear when uploaded to EPOS TM .
