In Fig. 3 (normal pelvis), al-though the outline of the true pelvis is not abnormally 110 PYELOGRAPHY large, the minor calyces appear to be broadened, and theiroutline is indistinct and blurred. The apparent increasein size is explained by the fact that the patient moved orbreathed at the time the pyelogram was taken. A point of interest in the diagnosis of hydronephrosis ofearly or moderate degree is the change frequently seen inthe angle where the ureter leaves the pelvis. The course.
