In Fig. 181 a round shadow is visiblein the right kidney area. In Fig. 117 the upper calyx isdilated and considerably larger than the other calyces, whichare normal in outline. From the localized dilatation andthe corresponding position it is evident that the stone islocated in the upper calyx. RENAL STONE 207 Not infrequently a stone will be found situated at theend of a calyx, so that it lies partly in the end of the calyxand partly in the cortical tissue. It may be impossible todifferentiate between a stone at the end of the calyx and onewhich is definitely in the cortex. In Fig. 182 the stoneshadow lies adjacent to the end of the lowest calyx.
