| A poster
presentation combines a visual display on a poster board of the highlights of research
with a question-and-answer opportunity. |
Before the Session:
|
- Schedule.
The ISMRM poster hall will be open for mounting of posters on Sunday, 19 May, from
12.00 to 17.00 and on Monday, 20 May, from 07.00 to 13.00. Your poster must be
mounted by 13.00. It should remain mounted and available for viewing until 12.30 on
Friday, 24 May. It must be removed by 13.00 on Friday.
|
- Measurements.
Each presenter is assigned a space which measures 1.2m/4ft high and 1.2m/4ft
wide. Posters exceeding these measurements and extending into areas reserved for
other posters will be removed.
|
- Mounting.
Posters should be designed and constructed so they can be attached to the poster
board with pushpins which will be found attached to the poster board assigned to you.
Pushpins must be inserted at an acute angle to prevent them from protruding from
the other side of the board where they can injure persons mounting posters on that side.
Additional pushpins may be requested at the meeting registration desk.

|
| During
Your Session: |
- One quarter of
the posters will be presented during each poster session to reduce crowding and maximize
opportunities for discussion. Check the program book to confirm on which day you
will be expected to present your poster.
|
- If your
program number is an even number you are requested to be at your poster during the first
hour of your assigned poster session. If it is an odd
number, you are requested to be at your poster during the second hour of
the session. This alternating presence will allow presenters more opportunities to
engage in discussions with their colleagues who are presenting during the same session.
When you register for the meeting, please verify your program number in the program
book in case there have been last minute changes.

Guidelines
for Preparing Scientific Posters |
Content: |
- The poster
should show the full title of your contribution.
- Text should be
brief and well organized, presenting only enough data to support your conclusions.
- The text
should make clear the significance of your research.
- The text
should include (most likely as separate elements of the poster) your hypothesis, methods,
results, and conclusions.
|
Design: |
- A clear,
simple, uncluttered arrangement is the most attractive and the easiest to read.
- The title
lettering should be approximately 3"/8cm high, with authors' names and affiliations
in somewhat smaller print.
- All lettering
should be legible from a distance of approximately 5'/1.5m. Type size should be at
least 24 point, in bold style. The typeface chosen should be a simple and clear on
(e.g., Helvetica). Titles should be in all upper case letters. The remainder
of the text should be in a combination of upper and lower case letters.
- Color should
be used sparingly to avoid contrast. The featured parts of the poster can be
highlighted with warm colors, and the less important parts can be done in cool
colors. Some suggestions for color combinations are as follows: Green on
white, red on white, black on white, blue on white, white on blue, and white on black.
- Illustrations
should be simple and eye-catching, with unnecessary detail left out. If possible,
convert tables to graphic displays. Pie graphs can be used to show parts of a whole,
line graphs can be used to show trends or changing relationships, and bar graphs can be
used to show volumes.
- Photos should
be enlarged enough to show relevant detail.
- Standard
computer printouts do not work well on posters, because the type is too small and the
lines are too thin to be seen from a distance.
- Patient
confidentiality must be protected. No names should appear in illustrations.
