The next visible 74 PYELOGRAPHY point of narrowing is where the ureter enters the wall ofthe bladder, beyond which the ureteral lumen suddenlynarrows. The course of the normal ureter is, as a rule, fairly uni-form unless it is altered by pressure of a stiff catheter ormarked renal excursion. Occasionally angulation in the.

In Fig. 41the right ureter turns sharply to the right as it leaves thepelvis, and then proceeds in an S-shaped course.
