Abstract submission

Abstract submissions on any topic where different types of imaging or image analysis techniques were used are welcome. 

Instructions for abstracts

Please read and follow the instructions carefully. The abstract should be written in English using the given template Scandem2026_Abs_template.docx. This way your text will fit in the pre-defined 12.5 x 15.8 cm rectangle (maximum 35 lines including title, author(s) and institutional information, blank line and body text) in the template. Use the template and the pre-defined styles of the template throughout the text (Font: Times New Roman, size:11, line space:1.0). 

Download the abstract template here.

How to use the template

1. Open Scandem2026_Abs_template.docx - document. Save a copy of the template to your own computer. Delete the exemplary text in the template and write/paste in your own abstract.
2. Use pre-defined styles to create a standard document. Use AbsTitle-style with capital bold letters for title, etc. Mark the presenting author with an asterisk (*).
3. Save the abstract according to the presenting author's name and the word ‘abstract’ (e.g., Surname_FirstName_abstract.docx) and convert it to pdf-format.

TIP: 

When you have pasted your main text (possibly in wrong format) into the box given, click somewhere within your text and then select the whole content by clicking “Text” in the left upper corner of the box. Then click the “Abstract text” in the banner and the text will be changed automatically to the wanted style. Re-check the length of the text that it fits inside the box. If it continues to the following page, it is too long. 

Using the pre-defined styles, you can similarly finalize the title and author and institutional information.
