Measure
Patient Aged More Than 18 Years Admitted for Thoracoscopy
Probe based confocal laser endomicroscopy (Mauna kea technologies) will be used, after intravenous fluorescein injection, for every patients admitted for medical thoracoscopy, to study the pleural cavity. Images will be compared with biopsies Study of the pleural cavity with a confocal laser endomicroscope.: Probe based confocal laser endomicroscope can be introduced through the working chanel of the thoracoscope. this allows the study of the pleural cavity with this new tool.
