Methods: Describe the study design, patient population/sample, imaging techniques and relevant statistical methods.
Results: Present the principal findings. Include relevant numerical data where appropriate.
Conclusion: State the principal conclusion and its relevance to paediatric radiology.
Clinical relevance / Take-home message (optional)
Scientific submissions should provide sufficient methodological and numerical detail to allow assessment of the quality and significance of the work.
If accepted for oral presentation:

For novel clinical findings, rare diseases, atypical disease presentations, unexpected treatment outcomes, or novel therapeutic approaches that offer significant learning value to clinicians.
Abstract structure:
Background: State the clinical context, relevance, and why this specific case is novel or worthy of discussion.
Imaging findings: Detail the key radiological findings across modalities (X-ray, CT, MRI, US) including specific features, measurements, and pertinent negatives.
Discussion: Compare the case to existing literature, addressing diagnostic challenges, differential diagnoses, and how imaging guided management.
Learning points: Provide 3–5 bulleted, actionable takeaways highlighting diagnostic pearls or practical lessons for clinical practice.
Authors must confirm that patient or legal guardian consent has been obtained to present anonymized case details at an international conference.
If accepted for ePoster presentation:
