Call for Papers
Prospective participants are invited to submit abstracts for poster or oral presentation.  Digital submission is encouraged in Word, WordPerfect, or simple text format; however, hard copy submission is allowed. In response to a number of requests, the ISMRM is pleased to extend the deadline for the submission of abstracts to this Thursday, 19 December 2002.

Abstracts are limited to one (1) page in length, including all images, tables, graphs, and references, and no smaller than 10pt font should be used.  An accompanying cover letter should indicate whether the abstract is to be considered for a talk or poster, and whether the presentation could be a poster if it cannot be accommodated in an oral session (all unspecified abstracts will be considered for posters).  The cover letter should also include title of the abstract, name, affiliation, postal address, e-mail address, telephone number, and fax number for each author.  The cover letter should also include the name of the author who will be presenting the abstract, if accepted.

The abstracts will be reviewed and selected by the workshop organizing committee.   Acceptance will be based on scientific merit, relevance to the field, clarity, soundness, and space availability.  Early submission is encouraged!

Notification of acceptance will be made by e-mail by 3 January 2003.  All accepted abstracts are expected to be presented at the workshop and will be published in the workshop syllabus, which will be distributed to all workshop participants.

Abstracts should be sent to:
