Original scientific research (abstracts for oral or traditional poster presentation)

Material suitable for scientific presentation may include both laboratory and clinical investigations of topics that would be appropriate for publication in the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology (JVIR). In general, original research, important new observations, and other presentations that represent substantial work with demonstrable results are appropriate for scientific presentations. Abstracts submitted in this category will be assigned to either oral or poster presentations after acceptance. Assignment to oral or poster presentation is based upon the subject and nature of the abstracts accepted each year. 

Oral presentations will be presented as 5-minute oral presentations with a 2-minute Q&A. 

Traditional posters will be printed and displayed onsite at the meeting, from Sunday - Tuesday, in the Poster Hall. Presenters of traditional posters are required to attend the Scientific Poster Presentation session on Monday, from noon to 1 p.m., to discuss their work and be judged by a reviewer panel for consideration for the Best Traditional Poster recognition.

A structured abstract is required and should be organized into four required sections. Respect the character limit of 2,200 characters for the body of the abstract. Abstracts in excess of the character limit will not be submittable. Spaces are not included in the character count. The abstract title and optional references are not counted towards the character count.

• *Required* Title: Titles have a maximum character count of 200. Spaces are not counted. The number of characters in a title are not counted toward the maximum character count.
  • Do not bold the title
  • Do not add a period at the end of the title
  • Use title case where possible. (The first letter of each word is capitalized, except for certain small words such as articles, short prepositions and special abbreviations).
    • Example: Ablation vs Surgical Resection for Small Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Risk-adjusted SEER-Medicare Analysis
• *Required* Purpose: Provide a succinct statement of the purpose of your study.
• *Required* Materials and methods: Describe the nature of the subjects, methods of selection, materials (including manufacturers' names and locations—city and state or country), and all procedures. The characteristics of study group(s) (such as sex distribution, mean age, underlying medical problems) should be included in this section. References should be made to established methods that have been published. New or substantially modified methods should be described, supported with rationale, and critically evaluated for real and potential limitations.
• *Required* Results: Actual data (with statistical significance) should be included in the results. Report of data and observations should be in logical sequence in the text, tables and illustrations. Data given in tables should not be repeated in the text.
• *Required* Conclusion: The conclusions should be drawn directly from the results of the study. Consider new and important aspects of the study and conclusions that can be drawn directly from your data. Include implications of findings, and limitations of your study. Avoid claiming priority, alluding to work that has not been completed or making unqualified statements not supported by your data. Recommendations, when appropriate, should be made.
• Table (Optional): Use the table builder if you would like to add a table. If a table is included as part of the abstract; only characters within the cells are counted toward the maximum character count. Spaces and borders are not counted. Only one (1) table per submission is accepted. If there is more than one (1) table, ONLY the first table will be accepted for publication in the JVIR annual meeting supplement. No graphics, external links, or drop boxes are accepted.  
• References (Optional): Number any references in the order in which they appear in the text. Characters in references are not counted toward the maximum character count. Do not use superscripts, please use curly bracket {} for your references in the body of the abstract.

Educational exhibit - (oral presentation only)

Educational exhibits are designed to deliver practical, procedure-focused education that prioritizes teaching over research. Submissions should showcase techniques, tips, and tricks for specific procedural steps rather than hypothesis-driven data. Formats may include: a topical review (a focused, in-depth look at a narrow subject), a pictorial essay (image-rich content that conveys key concepts visually), or a “how-to” demonstration (step-by-step procedural guidance accompanied by a 3-minute video for onsite presentation). These abstracts are not suited for scientific research and should emphasize clear, actionable instruction.

Accepted educational exhibits will be delivered as 3-minute oral presentations with a 2-minute Q&A and reviewed by a panel for consideration for the Best Educational Exhibit recognition.
