PB3287 Non-invasive differentiation of hemarthrosis and synovitis by means of quantitative MRI (T2 mapping) in patients with hemophilia in a real-life setup

Year: 2026

Type: conference-abstract

Abstract: Clinical differentiation between acute hemarthrosis and inflammatory synovitis in people with hemophilia (PwH) is often unreliable due to overlapping symptoms. To date, neither patient history, musculoskeletal ultrasound, nor conventional MRI techniques have been able to reliably distinguish intra-articular blood from reactive effusion. Consequently, invasive joint aspiration—which carries significant risks of infection and further bleeding—has remained the only definitive diagnostic method.
