Pyelography (pyelo-ureterography) a study of the normal and pathologic anatomy of the renal pelvis and ureter . Fig. 39.—Normal pelvis. When the pelvis is incompletely filled and an opaquecatheter is used, the ureter may appear to leave the pelvisat unusual angles. This may be explained by the factthat the elasticity of the ureter permits the catheter tomove in unusual positions, while the absence of the colloidalsilver fails to outline the ureteropelvic juncture. In the outline of both pelves is unusual, largely because ofincomplete distention of the true pelvis. Of particularinterest

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
