elsewhere.
Abstracts may be edited through the submission portal until the submission deadline.
All accepted abstracts must be presented in person at the assigned session. Virtual
presentation will not be permitted unless specifically approved by the Organizing
Committee.
The presenting author must be registered for ACRSICON 2026 by the
