A poster presentation combines a visual display of the highlights of research with a question-and-answer opportunity at a specified time.
Before Your Session:
Schedule: The SMRT Annual Meeting will be held in the Auditorium Theatre.
Level 2., Melbourne Convention Centre. The SMRT Meeting Room will be
available for poster mounting beginning Friday, 4 May at 14:00. Your poster must
be mounted by 17:00 on Friday, 4 May. The SMRT 21st Annual Meeting Reception
and Poster Walking Tour will held from 18:00 – 20:00, Friday, 4 May. Please note
that x-ray light boxes will not be allowed, and power outlets will not be
available.
Measurements: Each presenter will be allotted a poster space of 1
Meter/39 inches Width X 1.2 Meter/47 inches Height
Please note the allotted size and be attentive not to exceed these dimensions.
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 push pins (push pins will be provided by the
SMRT). Your poster number and last name will be mounted on the poster board
assigned to you.
During Your Session: Poster authors are required to be present, at their
posters, during the Poster Walking Tour Reception to discuss their poster with
attendees and answer any questions. A photographer will take your picture with
your poster to be included in the Signals newsletter.
After Your Session: Your poster must remain mounted and available for
viewing until 18:00 on Sunday, 6 May. If you plan to show your poster at the
ISMRM Scientific Meeting & Exhibition, Monday through Friday, 7 – 11 May in the
ISMRM Poster Exhibit Hall, additional instructions will be available to you
prior to the Annual Meeting. If you will not be showing your poster at the ISMRM
Annual Meeting you must remove your poster by 18:00 on Sunday, 6 May. Posters
not removed will be discarded.
SUGGESTIONS FOR
PREPARING TRADITIONAL POSTERS FOR ON-SITE
Content:
The poster should show the full title of your abstract.
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 the categories indicated by the focus of your poster,
clinical or research, as outlined in the abstract submission instructions.
Design:
Measurements: Each presenter will be allotted one poster space of 1
Meter/39 inches Width X 1.2 Meter/47 inches Height
Please note the allotted size and be attentive not to exceed these dimensions.
A clear, simple, uncluttered arrangement is the most attractive and the easiest
to read.
The title lettering should be approximately 5cm (2 in.) high, with authors'
names and affiliations in smaller print.
All lettering should be legible from a distance of 1.5m (5 ft.). The typeface
chosen should be a simple and clear one (e.g. Times New Roman or Helvetica).
Titles should be in all upper case letters, with the remainder of the text typed
in a combination of capital and lower-case letters for ease of reading.
Color should be used sparingly, and primarily to provide 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 usually are not effective 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 (or other identifiers, i.e.
social security numbers, medical record number, birthdates, etc.) should appear
in illustrations.
