In Fig. 110 the major calyces are slightly clubbedand rounded at the apices, while the minor calyces areeffaced. The true pelvis remains normal in outline andsize. The ureter is moderately dilated in its entire extentand is tortuous as far as the first point of narrowing. As the inflammatory process progresses the dilatation inthe calyces may become well marked, while little or no dila- 148 PYELOGRAPHY
