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].

MRI is also proposed to be the optimal method in evaluation of intracranial and spinal column hemorrhages when accessible[2].
