An electronic poster (E-Poster)
is a poster in PowerPoint format, allowing the inclusion of movies,
and other multi-media formats, and presenters are encouraged to take
advantage of the versatility of this
medium. All multi-media E-posters will be presented at numbered
monitors in the main poster display hall. The time allotted for
E-poster presentations is 60 minutes, and authors are requested to
be at their
assigned computers for the period of time specified in the
acceptance message. During this time you will be available for
discussion of your e-poster. A formal presentation is not necessary.
You will be informed of your program number as well as your computer
assignment before the meeting. However, when you arrive at the
meeting, check the program to confirm the day, time and monitor for
your presentation, in case there have been last minute changes.
All electronic poster presenters should upload their presentation
via the meeting website at
www.ets-av.com/ismrm/readyroom
thru 03 April 2013.
First authors were sent an email on 15 March 2013 with instructions.
If you did not receive these instructions, please email

FAQ
Why cant I use Apple Keynote, Adobe Acrobat (.pdf), or Adobe
Flash (.FLA) for the electronic poster area?
The software used to convert the electronic posters into web
friendly files does not support Keynote, Acrobat, or Flash native
files.
Why not just use Macintosh computers in the electronic poster
area?
The web browser on the Macintosh computer does not support embedded
PowerPoint files. To make this function work would entail extensive
software development. This feature is built-in to the Windows
operating system and Internet Explorer.

Electronic posters should be much
more visible and accessible this year, given the use of E-pods with
browsing computers.
Having E-poster monitors clumped together by theme, along
with browser monitors, should bring much more traffic to E-poster
presentations. To make this work for you, pay special attention
to your title slide. Each E-pod's browser monitors will play a
continuous loop showing the title slides from all 24 monitors for a
given hour in that pod. The first slide of your presentation will
be that slide, and will be shown for approximately 8-10 seconds.
Please do the following:
1) Put your monitor number in the
bottom right-hand corner of the slide. This will let people who are
browsing know where to find your monitor.
2) Put your title on the top
center of your slide.
3) Make this first slide
interesting, but not too busy - the intent is to draw people from
the browsing computer to your monitor, where you will be. An simple
and attractive image or figure that shows why your work is so
special will help. Complicated figures, or very busy movies, may be
too intensive to appreciate in the 8-10 seconds each title slide
will have on the browser monitor. So don't try to explain
everything here - just, perhaps, an interesting example of your
result.
4) It is vitally important that
you get your E-poster slides submitted on time, to allow the ISMRM
staff to create the browser movies ahead of time. |

Slide Design
Please observe these basic rules: |
- Each slide should
illustrate a single point or idea.
- Use large, legible
letters.
- Do not crowd the slide.
- Message slides should
contain no more than 7 lines, with 7 or fewer words per line.
|
General PowerPoint Slide
Guidelines: |
- Keep the data on
slides simple. If you have a great deal of data, divide it
among several slides. The content of a single slide should be
easily comprehended in 20 seconds. Remember: seven lines per
slide and seven words per line!
- Use large, legible
letters.
- If your data slides
are in color, use only light colors, such as white and
yellow, on a dark background, such as dark blue. Do not use
colors such as red or purple.
- Keep slides of
radiographs light. Dense or dark slides project poorly in
large rooms. Enlarging the significant areas and using arrows to
point out the specific area or lesion often helps.
- Patient
confidentiality must be protected, and the patient's a right
to privacy should not be infringed without express informed
consent. This includes removing identifying text in images,
providing graphical overlays onto photographs, etc. No names
should appear on the images.
- Avoid commercial
reference unless mandatory. A logo or institutional
identification should appear only on the first title slide. Do
not use such identification as a header on each slide.
|
Word Slides: |
- Title of text slides
should contain five or fewer words.
- Spaces between lines
should be at least the height of an upper case letter.
|
Tabular Slides: |
- Use graphs rather than
tables if possible.
- Keep tabular slides as
brief as possible.
- Two or more simple slides
are better than one complicated slide.
- Do not crowd the slide.
- Make the font as large as
possible.
|
Graph Slides: |
- Keep graphs simple.
- Round off figures.
- Limit the number of
captions.
- Use line graphs to show
trends or changing relationships.
- Use bar graphs to compare
volumes.
|
Chart Slides: |
- Simplify charts to keep
them legible.
- Break up complex charts
into a series of slides.
|
|
Content:
Note: If you attended last year's meeting in Melbourne, please review
the e-posters online for ideas which may be helpful in designing
your presentation.
- There should be a running title at the top of all slides. This
allows people to walk up in the middle of a presentation and
understand immediately which poster is being presented. This should include both program number and title. Separate the
running title and program number visually. For example, if the text
and number are placed within a box of a slightly different color, they would be separated visually.
- Each slide title should be placed in a title placeholder. This
allows that title to come across in the hyperlinks on the left bar.
- Consider putting something catchy into the title slide. Examples
are a key result, a key picture, or a sentence describing the major
result of the poster.
- The first slide should show the full title of your submission.
- The poster should be self-explanatory. Text should be brief and
well organized.
- 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.
