The course of the ureter is tortuous, becauseof the low position of the kidney. The portion of the ureter located in the wall of the blad-der is not, as a rule, outlined in the ureterogram. Anopaque catheter may be visible in this portion of the ureter, 78 PYELOGRAPHY but the injected solution will usually appear only in the por-tion of the ureter above the wall of the bladder. The degree of elasticity of the normal ureter is frequentlyquite remarkable. When the ureteral lumen is com-pletely occluded by the catheter and considerable pressureused in introducing the fluid, the normal ureter may oc-casionally become distended to a width of two or three.
