MRI vs X-Ray: which is better at spotting hidden knee damage in hemophilia?
NCT ID NCT07233122
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will compare MRI scans with standard X-rays to see which method better detects knee joint damage in adults with hemophilia who have had repeated bleeding in the knee. Researchers will use special scoring systems to measure early and advanced joint changes. The goal is to find a more accurate way to guide treatment and monitor how well therapy is working.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The study population will include patients diagnosed with hemophilia A or hemophilia B who are at risk of, or clinically suspected to have, hemophilic arthropathy of the knee joint. Participants will be recruited from hematology and orthopedic clinics. Eligible participants will undergo knee MRI to assess for: Synovial abnormalities (e.g., hypertrophy, hemosiderin deposition) Cartilaginous changes (thinning, erosions) Osseous changes (subchondral cysts, bone erosions, marrow changes) Intra-articular bleeding MRI scoring systems will be applied to quantify disease severity and to evaluate the role of MRI as a tool for supporting therapeutic decisions and monitoring treatment response.
