Pyelography (pyelo-ureterography) a study of the normal and pathologic anatomy of the renal pelvis and ureter . Fig. 86.—Hydronephrosis. Fig. 86 the papillae are reduced to mere indentations partiallyseparating the abbreviated major calyces. In Fig. 87 the true pelvis is dilated greater in proportionthan the calyces. Its smooth, round border is typical ofmechanical dilatation. In Fig. 88 the true pelvis is dis-tinctly larger than normal. The calyces appear small, ow-ing to the fact that the pelvis is but partially filled. Thecapacity of the entire pelvis would be approximately 100 118 PYE

X Fig. 87.— Fig. 88.—Hydronephrosis. MECHANICAL DILATATION 119 Unless the pelvis is fairly well distended, an erroneousimpression of the size of the hydronephrosis may be gainedfrom the pyelogram. In Fig. 89 the pelvis appears dilatedto a moderate degree. The calyces appear blurred and butpartially outhned because of incomplete distention by theinjected medium. At operation hydronephrosis of over150 was found which required nephrectomy.
