Alzheimer's Imaging Consortium topics of interest
The AIC is a one day preconference occurring on July 10, 2010.
Submitted abstracts should focus on the clinical application and methodological development of neuroimaging (modalities including MRI, PET, SPECT, CT and others) to Alzheimer’s disease, other dementias and normal brain aging.
Presentation preferences
Oral presentations
A presenter in an oral session has 15 minutes, including question and answer, to deliver his/her science. The two-hour sessions consists of eight speakers. All presenters are required to pay the registration fee.
Poster presentations
Poster presenters are required to be near their poster for a designated time during the poster session. More than 400 posters will be displayed Sunday through Wednesday. All presenters are required to pay the registration fee.
Featured research sessions
A featured research session is a two-hour session consisting of six presenters. As part of the submitted program it allows researchers to submit an entire session organized around a topic. All submissions will be reviewed and graded by the Scientific Program Committee. All presenters, chairs and organizers must pay their own registration fee.
Criteria for acceptance
The Scientific Program Committees will consider the following criteria in their review of submitted abstracts for ICAD and AIC:
- Quality of scientific research
- Relevance to Alzheimer’s disease and related neurological disorders
- Newness of information
- Potential impact on neurodegenerative disease research
Abstracts must include the following
- Author information
- Abstract title
- Topic area
- Keyword(s)
- Learning objectives
- Abstract body (350 word limit) to include
- Background
- Methods
- Results
- Conclusions
- Disclosure for all authors on abstract
Abstract submission
Submit abstracts to ICAD or AIC
Submit a Featured Research Session
Investigators may request to have the same abstract considered for both ICAD and AIC, eliminating the need for duplicate submission.
Note: An abstract may only be selected as an oral platform for either ICAD or AIC. Abstracts submitted for posters, however, may be presented at both events.
