Share your research for the chance to engage with the medical ultrasound community and:
To successfully submit an abstract for review, you must have the following information:
Case Report*
Introduction-300 words max;
Case Description (symptoms, signs, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up; 600 words max);
Conclusions-300 words max;
Overview: This text will be displayed on the website and other materials as a way to promote your abstract. In 200 words, what unique insights, findings, or implications will be shared during the onsite presentation that would be beneficial for attendees? Helpful Tip: Use interesting / engaging language to inform attendees why they must hear this presentation.
Log into the abstract portal: Abstracts must be submitted through the online abstract portal. No email submissions will be accepted. There is a limit of 10 abstracts per submitter. Once started, only the submitter can withdraw an abstract or revise the content. Please refrain from submitting multiple abstracts on overlapping facets of the same project unless each abstract has distinct, novel information, and clearly stands on its own.
Complete the requirements. Once you begin an abstract submission, you will be able to save your work and return to the online system to make any necessary edits at any time before the submission deadline. Please keep in mind that the review process will benefit from detailed information in each of the sections. Incomplete submissions will be rejected. We encourage all submitters to begin the process early.
Review your content: Confirm your author and contributing author list (be mindful that only 3 authors and contributing authors will be permitted) and proofread your abstract to correct any errors before submission. Changes to abstract titles or abstract text, as well as additions or deletions of author names, are allowed up until the deadline. Changes will not be permitted after the deadline.
Look for a confirmation email: A successful submission ends with a confirmation email to the submitter. If you do not receive a confirmation, be sure to hit the submit button on the top right of the page to officially complete and submit your abstract. By submitting the abstract, you retain the copyright of your content and agree to give the AIUM a limited, nonexclusive, royalty-free license to present and archive the content.
All submissions are reviewed for quality, scientific value, conference relatedness, and overall appropriateness for inclusion in the program.
All notifications and communications, including acceptance or non-acceptance, will be sent by email. It is the submitter’s responsibility to ensure his/her email address is correct and current. The AIUM is not responsible for notification emails not received due to incorrect contact information. The submitter is responsible for informing all co-authors of acceptance to the meeting.
Notification letters for abstract submissions will be sent out by mid-December. All abstract presenters will be asked to confirm receipt of their notification and officially accept the invitation to present (oral abstracts: printed posters). If you do not receive a notification email, contact the Education Department at learn@aium.org on November 16, 2026, to confirm acceptance or non-acceptance of your submission.
Detailed information about speaker tasks and due dates including presentation guidelines will be provided after acceptance.
Submission of an abstract constitutes a commitment by the author(s) to present (oral abstracts; printed posters) their work if the abstract is accepted. If you must withdraw your abstract, please email learn@aium.org and include your name, abstract ID, abstract title, and reason for withdrawal. Presenting authors (including those representing Posters), are required to register for the full meeting. Abstract authors are responsible for their registration and travel arrangements. The AIUM does not provide honorarium or reimbursement of travel expenses, with the exception of some award winners. Registration fees for all other authors will directly correspond to their current membership status. If the first/presenting author does not register, their abstract will be withdrawn from the program and will not be published in the proceedings. Failure to attend and present could affect your ability to present at future meetings.
The Ultrasound Event will showcase the latest cutting-edge and paradigm-shifting ultrasound research. Be a part of the future and be rewarded with prize money, as well as recognition if you are chosen to be among one of the best-of-the-best for either the New Investigators or The Great 8 session.
The New Investigator is a special session for New Investigators in training or who have completed their training within the past 5 years. In addition to the honor of being recognized as a New Investigator, two winners will be selected and awarded $500 each!
The Great 8 is a special session that recognizes the best-of-the-best research with a prize pool of $10,000 to further their research! In addition to the honor of being recognized as one of the top 8 abstracts, each presenter will receive $1,000 and the #1 presenter will win a total of $3,000!
Winners from both sessions will be announced at the convention during the AIUM Awards Presentation..
