Yes, for abstracts you need to provide a sample of 7 slides inclusive of a title slide and a learning objectives slide.

For the full rPoster (if accepted) you'll be asked to produce a maximum of 30 slides and that is inclusive of a mandatory title slide, learning objectives slides, take home points slide, radiopaedia related resources slide and reference slide. So really you have around 25 slides available for your actual teaching goodness.  

Yes. Each rPoster can only have a maximum of two authors. If more people have helped you, then you can mention them in the acknowledgments section at the end of your final rPoster (if accepted). 

Given that rPosters are educational rather than research based, and that authors can use any public Radiopaedia cases, we feel that a maximum of two authors is reasonable. It hopefully strikes a balance between helping to reduce author bloat in academia whilst still allowing less experienced authors to pair with a supervising mentor. 

You can submit a maximum of two rPosters each year. We know you might be keen to submit more, but the best way to boost your chances of having a poster accepted is to work hard on making your submission awesome!

There are so many reasons why we have chosen a cloud-based solution for our rPosters but we won't bore you with the details. Canva templates allow for a consistent and aesthetically pleasing rPoster style that is easily shareable and embeddable. It also means you can continue to edit and improve your rPoster abstract right up until the deadline, even if you have already submitted it. You’ll be surprised at how intuitive Canva is and how it just makes everything look good!

No. You must construct your rPoster using the supplied Canva template. If you have an existing presentation in PowerPoint that you want to adapt, then you will need to recreate the elements in Canva. Exporting the slides as images and placing them in Canva will not be acceptable, but you could create illustrations or images in Powerpoint (or any other app) and then import them into Canva as long as they only form part of the Canva slide and that any text boxes are created directly in Canva.

No. You must construct your rPoster using the supplied Canva template. You can include author institution logos on the title slide but not on any other slides in the rPoster.

Absolutely! The beauty of the rPoster is that you can utilize the existing public cases on Radiopaedia to create your educational poster. There are over 50,000 cases on the site, so chances are you'll be able to create an amazing educational experience for conference delegates without even having to upload any images of your own. Just make sure you reference the images you use as shown in the template and example abstracts. 

Yes. You can definitely do this but make sure any images abide by the Radiopaedia publishing standards. If you like, you may wish to submit your case to Radiopaedia and then use it in your rPoster. This is likely to impress the assessors as having the full case available for learners is encouraged. 

Copyrighted material should be avoided in your rPoster except where fair use policies apply. We recommend using public domain image sites such as pexels.com, unsplash.com and pixabay.com to find images and photographs to use in your poster.

Generally you should not as the rPoster should be a standalone learning activity. Hyperlinks are however required on the related article slide in accepted rPosters. The "references" slide (part of the final rPoster, but not part of the abstract) can contain hyperlinks as per the Radiopaedia referencing standard. 

It is important to focus on how it will enable healthcare professionals to change their clinical practice, not just gain knowledge. 
Use a framework that focuses on higher-order thinking skills, such as analysis, synthesis, and evaluation, to create specific and measurable objectives for your poster. Provide three clear objectives, you can help ensure that your poster is focused and effective in communicating its message. 

For example, don't just state "gain knowledge about condition X" instead try something like "apply knowledge of the new condition to tailor radiographic assessment". By focusing on the reader you can use the information to ensure that your rPoster has a lasting impact on clinical practice.

Click the "share" button top right corner of the page and then type "[email protected]" as the person you are sharing the design with and ensure "can edit" is selected. This will enable us to see your design. You can also then copy the link to your presentation and paste that into the google form when submitting your rPoster or abstract. 

Yes, you can continue to edit and improve your slides right up until the deadline (29 February 2024) even if you submitted your abstract already. Simply continue editing your existing design in Canva and the reviewers will be able to see your latest version. Any edits after the deadline however will not be seen by the reviewers.

Please check with the other conference if their rules allow this, but it is no problem from our point of view. Remember that you'll need to craft a new slideshow in Canva (not just paste image slides from your other slideshow into Canva) and follow the rPoster creation guidelines. 

You don't need to register for Radiopaedia 2024 in order to submit an abstract, but it is strongly encouraged because the conference is awesome. If your abstract is accepted then at least one author will be required to register. Our affordability tiers and free country tiers will apply. 

No. Authors do not need to provide any audio or video to accompany their final rPoster, but are asked to virtually attend the conference session in which their rPoster appears to answer any questions in the typed online chat (no webcam or audio required). 

Yes, all published rPosters will appear during the daily rPoster session at the virtual conference. We ask that authors virtually attend the session to answer any questions in the typed online chat (no webcam or audio required). 

Yes, all successfully accepted rPosters that are published at the conference will receive a certificate and also receive a DOI citation that you can use in your CV.

Our senior editorial team will select the most outstanding rPoster in each of the 10 subspecialties to receive an award certificate along with a 12 month Radiopaedia All-Access Pass (or pass extension if you have an existing pass) for each author. 

All rPosters will be published under the standard Radiopaedia modified Creative Commons licence (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0, see details) allowing others to share, alter and/or build upon the content as long as they attribute all original work appropriately, license it under the same license, and do not use the work commercially. Authors remain the owners of any original intellectual property contained within their rPoster.
