The absence of the injected medium in bothureters gives an erroneous impression of the position of theureteropelvic juncture. The Normal Ureter.—Because of the elasticity of thewalls of the ureter, and because of the technical difficultyof completely filUng it with an opaque fluid, it is usuallyimpossible to demonstrate the complete outline of the en-tire ureter. As a result of the incomplete distention the KALEVIMAG
