In a study of the urinary organs the Rontgenologist should be able to deter-mine the size and position of the kidneys in a normal subject weighing 160pounds or less. In larger persons only the best skiagraphs will show the out-line of the kidneys. In patients under 160 pounds renal calculi from the size. The Uses of the Rontgen Rays i4S9 of a No. 2 shot to the largest found, whether smgle or multiple, in one kidneyor both, and relatively their situation in the kidneys (except in stones composedof pure uric acid) can be determined in Rontgenographs of the best quality. Ureteral calculi are subject to the same display as renal calculi. The courseof the ureters is by no means constant, so that one cannot say that a shadowlies in the line of the ureter unless this line is determined by additional , in the great majority of instances the history of renal colic; a point oftenderness on deep pressure; the presence of microscopical Cjuantities of bloodin the urine; the fact that ureteral calculi are almost never round, but oval or ir-regular, in contrast to the small round shadows cast by phleboliths, or calcareousdeposits in the mucous membrane of the female genitalia; and, the mulberryappearance of calcified lymphatic glands, are sufficie
