The diagnostic yield of the recently developed Raja pleural biopsy needle was compared to that of the Abrams needle. Paired biopsies were obtained in 12 cases. In two cases the Raja yielded a diagnosis of malignancy when the Abrams was negative, and in two other cases (one TB and one leukaemia) the Raja provided more specific diagnostic material. There were no cases where the Abrams provided information not present in a Raja biopsy. In our hands, the Raja pleural biopsy needle gave a diagnostic yield superior to the Abrams needle.
将最近研发的拉贾胸膜活检针的诊断率与 Abrams 针的诊断率进行了比较。对 12 例患者进行了配对活检。在 2 例病例中，当 Abrams 针活检结果为阴性时，拉贾针活检确诊为恶性肿瘤；在另外 2 例病例中（1 例为肺结核，1 例为白血病），拉贾针提供了更具特异性的诊断材料。没有出现 Abrams 针能提供拉贾针活检未发现的信息的情况。在我们的操作中，拉贾胸膜活检针的诊断率优于 Abrams 针。
