On June 5th, 2015 the International Pediatric Stroke Study and the Stroke Imaging Laboratory for Children (SILC) co-hosted a unique workshop focused on developing neuroimaging research in pediatric stroke. Pediatric neurologists, neuroradiologists, interventional neuroradiologists, physicists, nurse practitioners, neuropsychologists and imaging research scientists from around the world attended this one-day meeting. Our objectives were to: i) establish a group of experts to collaborate in advancing pediatric neuroimaging for stroke, ii) develop consensus clinical and research MRI protocols for pediatric stroke patients, and iii) develop imaging-based research strategies in pediatric ischemic stroke. The current manuscript provides a summary of the meeting proceedings focusing on identified challenges and solutions and outcomes from the meeting. Further details on the workshop contents and outcomes are provided in 3 additional manuscripts in the current issue of Pediatric Neurology.
