The first author listed for each abstract serves as the presenting author and as the primary contact for all correspondence regarding the abstract.

The presenting author is responsible for the following:

• Ensuring that all co-authors have read the abstract and agreed to participate. Failure to acquire approval from all co-authors will result in rejection of the abstract

An individual may be listed as “presenting author” on no more than 3 abstracts.
“Presenting authors” in-training (fellows, residents, and medical students) must include an attending radiologist on the abstract. Although you may submit an abstract that has been previously presented, preference will be given to original work that has not been presented elsewhere.

Accepted Abstracts
For all accepted in-person abstract applications, the presenting author must register and be present at the meeting. For all accepted virtual abstracts, instructions will be sent after acceptance.

Presentation days/times are limited; if you have any limitations, please indicate this immediately upon the receipt of your acceptance notice by sending an email to Lydia@trifectaeg.com.  The planning committee will do their best to accommodate requests based on limitations, but this is not guaranteed.

Submission of an abstract indicates a commitment to present at the WNRS 2026 Annual Meeting. If an accepted abstract is not presented, it may affect the privileges of the author/co-authors to present abstracts or give invited talks at future WNRS meetings.
