Submission Deadline EXTENDED: 29 January 2018 @ 23:59 EST

Abstracts are limited to one page in length (21.59 cm x 27.94 cm / 8.5"x11"), including all images, tables, graphs and references. Font size should be no smaller than 8 pt.

SUGGESTED FORMAT: The abstract should be formatted in one column, containing all of the following sections that answer the questions below:

• Abstract title
• Author list
• Target audience: "Who will benefit from this information?"
• Purpose: "Why was this study/research performed?"
• Methods: "How has this problem been studied?"
• Results: "Principal data and statistical analysis"

The workshop organizers welcome applications for trainee stipends. These trainee stipends, funded by the ISMRM Research & Education Fund, are intended to partially subsidize the attendance of clinical trainees (including residents and fellows) within 7 years of obtaining an M.D. or equivalent degree, pre- and post-doctoral fellows within 5 years of obtaining a Ph.D. or equivalent degree, and junior research staff (technologists or research assistants) within 3 years of obtaining a higher degree. Priority will be given to applicants who are first authors on abstracts selected for presentation, but this is not a requirement.
