Overview
MRI is commonly used in the evaluation of joints damages, their staging and follow-up in Hemophilia patients. MRI can be also used as an optimum alternative to CT to evaluate the cranial and spinal hemorrhages.
MRI
MRI is commonly used in the evaluation of joints damages, their staging and follow-up in Hemophilia patients. There are significant advantages about MRI when compared to X-ray to assess the joints. The quality and accuracy of MRI is much higher and provides better visualization of articular space in early stages of the disease[1][2].
MRI is also proposed to be the optimal method in evaluation of intracranial and spinal column hemorrhages when accessible[3].
