65th Annual Meeting & Exhibition of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine

Date: July 23 – 27, 2023
Venue: George R. Brown Convention Center, Houston, TX, USA

Deadline Date: Tuesday, February 28, 2023 8:00 PM Eastern (5:00 PM Pacific)

Dear colleagues,

It is my great honour to invite you to the 36th Annual EANM Congress on behalf of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine. This year’s event will be held in Vienna from 9 to 13 September.

We are able to meet in person again for this edition of the EANM Congress, meaning we will enjoy the fantastic science and face-to-face interchange the occasion offers while also continuing to bolster our growth as a specialist community.

Our present is bright, and our future is even more promising. Our relevance for diagnostics and therapy continues to increase, new tools and tracers have been established, and ongoing research and innovation are consistently providing fresh solutions for validation and testing. The number of joint projects with other disciplines and societies continues to grow, with more and more communities recognising the important help that nuclear medicine can provide their patients and in answering their questions. This is the main reason for the unusual date of this year’s EANM Congress, as we wanted to avoid clashing with another major event that many of our participants and industry partners will also want to attend. We plan to return to our usual mid-October dates in 2024.

The number of visitors to the Congress continues to rise year after year, with the 2022 edition of the event welcoming an unprecedented 7000 participants. The many innovative features you discovered and liked in Barcelona last year will be present once more, including sessions specifically devoted to exchange and discussion. Please prepare your questions across the year and get ready to challenge our experts during the congress! We want to make sure that you return home with input and suggestions that allow each and every one of you to contribute to the success of our field in your daily work.

Needless to say, we should not simply sit back and enjoy our success. We must continue to provide convincing evidence of the positive impact our chosen field has in a complex world of limited resources, meaning we should constantly strive for a more efficient, accessible and sustainable nuclear medicine. This year’s scientific programme will help you deal with such issues thanks to superb material combined with multidisciplinary sessions. And as we know that fun helps foster collaboration and cooperation, and some will also be uniquely entertaining. On top of this, we hope you will provide numerous contributions and plenty of input via the abstract submission portal, which is now open. Share your work with the nuclear medicine community!

We have prepared content that will maximise opportunities for exchange and networking for all those who travel to Vienna for EANM’23. On the other hand, we still want to reach as large an audience as possible, just as virtual congresses have done, including anyone that cannot make it to Vienna for this year’s congress. For this reason, selected content will also be made available online and will remain accessible afterwards so that everyone can benefit from it in a way which fits around each individual’s schedule.

In summary, we are working to provide you all with a special, first-rate Congress tailored to your needs and wishes. Join us and savour every moment of it!

REGISTRATION AND IN-PERSON ATTENDANCE ARE REQUIRED FOR ALL PRESENTING AUTHORS TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS MEETING.

General Rules and Guidelines

• To help offset the cost of ePoster viewing equipment, a $50 fee per accepted ePoster will be required.
• Proffered Abstracts should be original work not previously presented or submitted to any other conference or published in a journal (work submitted but not accepted for publication, is acceptable), unless specific permission has been granted by the Program Directors.
• Presenters of proffered papers at the meeting are encouraged to submit their work to Medical Physics for review and possible publication.
• No part of the Abstract, Supporting Document, or Funding Disclosure should contain identifying information such as title, author names, institutions, etc. Submissions containing such information may be rejected without review.
• To submit an abstract, you are not required to be a member of AAPM, unless otherwise indicated for that submission type in the instructions.
• The Abstract is limited to 300 words and should be structured as Purpose, Methods, Results, and Conclusion.
• Abstract submitters may select 1or 2 of the presentation modes (Oral, ePoster) during the abstract submission process. Please note, by selecting both options, your chances increase for having your abstract submission included in the meeting.
• The abstract entry field is text only and does not support symbols or equations except those shown in the table. The abstract field cannot contain graphs, figures, tables, images, or other multimedia objects. (These can be entered in the Supporting Document.)
• The Abstract cannot depend on the Supporting Document, nor should it refer to it. The Supporting Document will not be published in the program, so references to it (e.g., “as can be seen in Fig 1 of the Supporting Document” “Results are listed in the table in the Supporting Document”) should not be made.
• Please note that once abstracts are submitted and the submission deadline has passed, no further modifications are permitted.
