Figure 2 Three-dimensional reconstructed image of single-photon-emission computed tomography and computed tomography with Tc-99m macro-aggregated albumin peritoneal scintigraphy for pleuroperitoneal communication. Posterior view in the supine position showed trans-diaphragmatic leakage of radioactive tracer in the right hydrothorax. The right posterior diaphragm is the presumptive leakage site (arrow).
