Abstract
Under a double-blind setting, 30 aspirations, 15 with each system (C-FNA, Thyrosampler), were done in randomized order and recorded.
The median total number of cells was 59 680 cells/mL with C-FNA and 396 400 cells/mL with Thyrosampler. The needle system with the aeration aperture led to a significantly higher cell amount (564% more cells than the conventional system; P < .005) in needle aspiration biopsy.
The new system with the vacuum release feature leads to a significantly higher cell amount in needle aspiration biopsy, which is a well-defined benefit.
