Mechanical Ultrasound for Hemophilia
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The study examines whether a mechanical arm ultrasound system provides diagnostic accuracy comparable to expert-performed full ultrasound for detecting key joint components and whether it can reduce acquisition variability without compromising accuracy, as measured by false-positive and false-negative rates.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for people with hemophilia A, B, or other bleeding disorders who have had a joint bleed before or are suspected of having a new one. Participants need to be able to cooperate during the ultrasound procedure.Inclusion Criteria
