ASMIRT/NZIMRT 2025 is calling for workshop submissions. A full day of workshops will be held on Thursday 27 March 2025 at the Adelaide Convention Centre. Interactive workshops run anywhere from 1.5 hours to a half or full day.
If you are interested in facilitating a workshop, please complete the ASMIRT/NZIMRT 2025 Workshop Proposal form and return to conferences@asmirt.org.
Workshop submissions close 9 September 2024.
ASMIRT/NZIMRT 2025 will offer authors the opportunity to display their physical posters in the exhibition foyer. This allows attendees to easily identify the content and outcomes of the work and efficiently deliver learning outcomes. We encourage poster authors to discuss their posters with attendees by making themselves available during one or more conference breaks.
Scientific / non-scientific abstracts
When submitting your abstract, you will be asked to indicate whether it is a scientific (original research) or non-scientific abstract (case study, literature review, clinical audit etc). Please read below so you are clear about each of these types.
For Scientific Abstracts: The abstract must be structured under the following headings: Objectives, Methods, Results, Discussion/Conclusion and References.
For Non-Scientific Abstracts: The abstract should describe a situation, a problem or a practice with adequate reasoning and evidence to support a point of view. For commentary, it is not necessary to provide headings. Case studies must be structured under the following headings: Introduction, Case Presentation, Management and Outcome, and Discussion.
General
Review and Selection
Abstracts will be blind reviewed by a panel of experts selected by the Scientific Program Committee. Selection will be based on the abstract review scoring criteria from the relevant scoring rubric. The decisions of the review process are final and cannot be disputed.
Speaker Registration
A condition of abstract acceptance is that at least one of the presenting authors must register to attend the conference in person as a delegate and pay the appropriate registration fee by Thursday 12 December 2024. This is to allow for time for the program to be available for early bird registration, and publication of the conference abstracts through Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences (JMRS) online. Should one of the presenting authors not register by this time, the presentation may be removed from the program. A co-presenter is permitted on the basis that they have registered for the day of their presentation.
Publication Policy
All abstracts accepted for presentation (Oral or Poster) will be published through a JMRS abstract supplement, and available through the Conference online system.
Recording of Presentations
All presenters agree to have their presentation recorded and applicable resources available through the ASMIRT/NZIMRT online systems. This agreement is non-exclusive and royalty-free. Presenters/authors agree that the content is theirs to share and that ASMIRT/NZIMRT are not responsible for the content of the material presented.
Any authors / presenters who are unable to commit to this need to email conferences@asmirt.org with the reason for this, and request consideration for an exemption. Any exemptions granted will be confirmed in writing.
Privacy
By submitting an abstract presenters give permission for their name, bio and image (if uploaded) to be available through the Conference App / online system, and in delegate or sponsor lists.
Plagiarism
ASMIRT regards plagiarism as serious professional misconduct. If plagiarism is identified, the abstract and any other abstracts submitted by the same author will be rejected.
