  		Fig. 1B. —37-year-old man with bilateral retroperitoneal leaks. Axial T1-weighted fast low-angle shot MR image reveals residual gadodiamide-dialysate mixture in peritoneal cavity (open arrow). Note leakage of hyperintense fluid into perirenal space (solid arrows).

  		Fig. 2A. —29-year-old man with recurrent right-sided pleural effusions caused by diaphragmatic leakage after continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Axial T1-weighted fast low-angle shot MR image shows hyperintense gadodiamide-spiked dialysate in peritoneal cavity (short solid arrow) and in right pleural cavity (open arrow). Note small leak in right hemidiaphragm (long solid arrow).

  		Fig. 3A. —42-year-old woman with large leak in right hemidiaphragm. Axial T1-weighted fast low-angle shot MR image obtained before continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis shows large amount of peritoneal fluid (thick solid arrow) and opacified right-sided pleural effusion (open arrow). Note large discontinuity of right hemidiaphragm (small solid arrow).
