All abstracts will be considered for oral presentation (except for Van Arman submissions and unless indicated on the Online Abstract Upload Form) or poster session and will be reviewed by the topic chairpersons. Authors of abstracts selected for presentation in the Mini-symposia will be notified directly by the session chairpersons. Authors agreeing to participate in the Mini-symposia will give an oral presentation (FASEB format – 10 minute presentations followed by 5 minutes for questions). Remaining selected abstracts will be presented in poster sessions. Authors agreeing to participate in a Mini-symposium have the option to also prepare a poster and thereby be eligible for the GE Healthcare® Poster Competition. Computer interface for Powerpoint presentation ONLY will be available.
