Scientific posters form an integral part of many radiology meetings. They provide the opportunity for interested parties to read the material at an individualized pace, to study the images in detail, and to return to the exhibit numerous times. Although the content of the poster is undoubtedly its most important component, the visual presentation of the material can enhance or detract from the clarity of the message. With the wide availability of sophisticated computer programs for desktop publishing (DTP), one can now create the poster on a computer monitor with full control of the form as well as the content. This process will result in a professional-appearing poster, yet still allow the author the opportunity to make innumerable revisions, as the poster is visualized in detail on the computer monitor before printing. Furthermore, this process is less expensive than the traditional method of typesetting individual sections separately and mounting them on cardboard for display. The purpose of this article is to present our approach to poster production using commercially available DTP computer programs.
