Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to test the external validity of the systemic ultrasound protocol for data acquisition and interpretation, in order to diagnose soft tissue and osteochondral abnormalities in hemophilic children.
Detailed Description:
Ultrasound has advantages over MRI as it is less expensive, does not require sedation and is more readily available in centres around the world. Given these characteristics of ultrasound it is an ideal imaging tool for early assessment of hemophilic joints in countries whose access to MRI is limited. Early evaluation of soft tissue changes in young hemophilic patients may lead to earlier interventions and better mid-term and long-term clinical outcomes. By this way the joint function of hemophilic patients can be preserved, saving their joints from severe arthropathy and offering them the possibility of a normal professional life in the society.
