Unlessthe pelvis is well distended, the minor calyces may be moreor less obscured and give the impression of slight inflamma-tory changes. Should the patient breathe or move whilethe pyelogram is being made, the outline of the minorcalyces may become blurred, and suggest the presence of apathologic process.
