About EPOS™
EPOS™ is the ESR’s Electronic Poster Viewing System for scientific, educational, and EuroSafe Imaging posters. Posters submitted for ECR will be part of the scientific exhibition at the congress and can also be published permanently on the EPOS™ online viewing platform after the congress.
Edit your poster
To edit your submitted poster, please refer to the Faculty Resources Page.
During the poster upload phase, you can re-open your poster and make any necessary changes. Once you have made your edits, please make sure to re-submit, otherwise your poster will not be considered.
*Important: Posters under award review cannot be re-opened. The re-opening function can be resumed after the end of January.
Once a poster is published as part of the EPOS™ database, it cannot be edited, and any errors will remain visible to all users.

Registration
To have your poster exhibited and/or published, the presenting author must be registered for the congress. Onsite attendance is optional as all registration tickets are valid for online access from March 4 to 15, 2026.
At the congress
As part of the scientific and educational exhibition during the congress, your poster will be exhibited online and in the EPOS™ Area, located on level -2, featuring large screens dedicated to viewing posters. Congress registration must be completed to exhibit.
*Note: a poster cannot be delivered as an oral presentation unless it is participating in EPOS™ PULSE.
Presenter registration
Valid congress registration is mandatory to present your abstract or to have your poster shown during the congress and/or permanently published after the congress.
A reduced registration fee of EUR 400,- is available for all presenting authors of accepted oral and poster abstracts who are ESR members in good standing by August 31, 2025.
The presenting authors of accepted abstracts without ESR 2025 membership (or membership settled after the deadline) can still register for ECR 2026 for the Early Fee.
Important information:
- This offer will only be available if registration is finalised by December 17, 2025, and only applies to the presenting author (not first or any other authors).
- If the presenting author cannot register for the congress, they can choose an attending co-author or colleague to present the work instead. Request a presenter change
- Each abstract receives one reduced registration ticket for the presenting author. Once the reduced registration payment is completed, the ticket is not transferable.
- If the presenter change occurs before the reduced registration payment is completed, the reduced registration fee benefit is transferred to the new presenting author.
*Please note that the ESR will not refund any previously paid registration fees, including in cases of special offers, subsequent ticket changes or membership-related changes.
Please make sure to use the account with the same Personal ID for registration that was used to submit the abstract(s).
For any registration inquiries, please contact us at [email protected].
Scientific or Educational Posters, EPOS™ provides specific structures for both:
| Scientific exhibits | Educational exhibits |
| Aims and objectives state the study’s hypothesis and goals. | Learning objectives state the poster’s learning goals. |
| Methods and materials detail the process to allow experiment replication. | Background summarises key definitions, problems, disease descriptions and pathophysiology of the chosen topic. |
| Results share findings with clear data (include tables/figures where needed). | Findings and procedure details: Findings must underline key observations, diagnostic specialities and their clinical interpretations. The diagnostic procedure must be described in detail, allowing readers to reproduce the findings. |
| Conclusion interprets the results with reference to other cited work, highlighting their significance and summarising the original hypothesis’ results, including any unexpected findings. | Conclusion interprets the results with reference to other cited work, and includes a concise statement summarising the significance of the results in reference to the learning objectives. |
Sample posters Scientific exhibit – have a look at awarded examples. | Sample posters Educational exhibit – have a look at awarded examples. |
Ensure your poster is clear, concise, and ready to make an impression at the congress by following these guidelines:
Your electronic presentation should be:
- Logical and well-organised: arrange the content so it flows naturally and is easy to follow.
- Self-explanatory and concise: use clear language and provide only the necessary information to support your conclusions.
- Structured: use bullet points and headers for readability.
The information presented must be up-to-date, even if the topic or images refer to old or historical procedures.
- The minimum word count for the entire poster is 400 words, including all sections. The maximum word count is 1,500 words.
- Posters must be written in English.
- Enter text directly or copy and paste plain text into the upload system; Word, PDF, or PPT files are not permitted.
- Please provide sufficient details in each section (do not simply transfer your abstract contents into the electronic poster frame).
- Carefully review your poster before submitting.
- Posters will be displayed as submitted. Therefore, we recommend that you get your work checked by a native English speaker.
- Consider asking an independent colleague to give an unbiased opinion on the clarity of the poster and the alignment of the images with your text.
- Once a poster is part of the EPOS™ database, it cannot be edited, and any errors will remain visible to all users.
- When preparing your poster, we recommend using a writing assistant programme (e.g. Grammarly).
Tables: Complicated tables and spreadsheets can be uploaded as image files.
Images: Images to illustrate your poster are mandatory. EPOS™ posters should not only consist of text; viewers spend less time on a poster that does not have enough images.
- Use the upload images box at the bottom of your poster to upload images and add captions.
- Link images to the text by embedding them using the picture icon on the top right corner of the text.
- After inserting an image, it will appear as text in the format “[img]1[/img]”. The number in the text stands for the embedded figure number.
Image guidelines and recommendations:
- Media files: add up to 30 files.
- Format: jpg/.jpeg, .png, .gif and animated gifs
- Recommended size: 1024×768 pixels, 72 dpi resolution, RGB
- Maximum file size is 3MB.
Image attribution: Clearly state the origin of each image in the references. Examples include:
- Unpublished images: © “Department of Radiology, General Hospital Vienna, Medical University of Vienna/ Austria 2009”.
- For images already published, the full journal citation must be given:
©”Maier M et al. (2007) CT of the chest. Eur Radiol 17:1-20″.
*Please refer to the Permissions section if applicable.
- Images without references will be assumed to be the property of the submitters.
Videos: Uploading videos is not possible for poster submission.
In this section, the conflict of interest (added during the abstract submission) will be shown.
Additionally, you can note the ORCID number, university affiliations and contact information.
Note: The information added in this section will be published and cannot be edited or removed after publication.
Authors wishing to include figures, tables, or text passages already published elsewhere must obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) and, upon request, provide evidence that permission has been granted when submitting the poster.
Authors are responsible for the accuracy of the references. Please consider the following:
- Citations in the text should be in Arabic numerals in square brackets, e.g. [2-5, 12].
- The list of references should only include published works that are cited in the text.
- A maximum of 20 references is recommended.
- Define non-common abbreviations and acronyms the first time they appear in the text.
- Use the International System of Units (SI) for Radiation and laboratory measurements.
Your poster must be non-promotional and non-commercial. Specific agents and manufacturers should only be mentioned by name when central to your research question or educational message. It is sufficient to state that images were acquired “at 1.5 T” or “using a 16-slice CT scanner” without mentioning the manufacturer unless there is some compelling reason to do so.
It is essential to state that the data presented is “off-label” if the presentation refers to an indication not covered by the licensing authorities.
- For biomedical research conducted on animals, please comply with the guidelines outlined by the National Institutes of Health and acknowledge such compliance in your manuscripts.
- Posters reporting the results of experimental studies on human subjects must include a statement confirming that informed consent was obtained after the procedure(s) had been fully explained.
- Patient confidentiality must be protected: names, hospital ID numbers, or any other information that identifies the patient must not appear in illustrations, images, or texts.
*For rare or specific diseases, avoid descriptions that could unintentionally identify patients, especially if the author’s workplace is mentioned. For example, “Bronchial arteriogram in a 32-year-old female with a history of Fallot’s tetralogy and haemoptysis” could identify the patient if the author’s workplace is mentioned (e.g. under ‘Personal Information’).

Aiming for a poster award?
Upload your poster by January 04, 2026 to have a chance at receiving one of the following awards:
- Magna Cum Laude
- Cum Laude
- Certificate of Merit
- EIBIR Award*
Magna Cum Laude and EIBIR Award recipients will be offered free registration for the subsequent congress.

Online publication
If you have registered for the congress and uploaded your poster successfully, you can publish your poster on the EPOS™ Online Viewing Platform, permanently after the congress. Please remember that only the poster will be published, not the original abstract.
After the congress, you will receive an email requesting your consent to publish your poster. You can accept or deny the publication of your poster in your ESR account.
If you choose to publish, your poster will receive a DOI number and be published on the EPOS™ Online Viewing Platform. The publishing process may take a few months. Once the publication is complete, you will receive a notification by email.
Citability, license and usage rights
Authors must accept that their poster will be published under an open license:
- Copyright: authors retain the copyright of their work.
- Usage rights: readers are granted a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to share (copy, distribute and transmit) and to remix (adapt) the poster on the condition that:
- the work is attributed (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse the authors or their work).
- the use is non-commercial.
- the work is shared under the same conditions.
Once published on the EPOS™ Online Viewing Platform, the poster will be assigned a DOI (Digital Object Identifier), making it permanently registered and retrievable.
*Note that once a poster is registered with a DOI number, this cannot be reversed. Consequently, the poster cannot be submitted for publication elsewhere in the future.
The full version of the agreement can be found here.
Material used in your poster
Material (such as study details, images, etc.) that has been previously published (or which is under consideration elsewhere) can be used for creating EPOS™ posters, provided that all respective licenses and rights have been received by the copyright holder. This means that either a full reference or a note regarding material in press must be used in the respective poster parts (texts, images, tables, etc.).
Authors are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of references, as for all other forms of scientific publishing. The ESR and the publisher are not held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation.
