Comparing the performance of 3D T1W-WATS sequence with 2D T2*W FFE sequence in the evaluation of cartilage damage in Pediatric hemophilia joints. 16 hemophiliac joints including 8 knees and 8 ankles were scanned on a 3.0 T, signal to noise of Cartilage, relative contrast between cartilage and surrounding tissue and the impact of hemosiderin were employed to compare.Our result showed that 3D T1W-WATS sequence had better relative contrast between cartilage and surrounding tissues and the immunity to hemosiderin compared with 2D T2*W sequence.3DT1W-WATS sequence can be performed in the evaluation of cartilage damage in hemophilia patients.
