Ultrasound evaluation of joint damage and disease activity in adult patients with severe haemophilia A using the HEAD‐US system

The Haemophilia Early Arthropathy Detection with Ultrasound (HEAD‐US) system and scoring scale has proven to be an accurate and time‐efficient imaging method for identifying joint damage in patients with haemophilia.
