In Fig. 52 the right pelvis issituated at the level of the fourth lumbar vertebra, the leftopposite the first and second lumbar vertebrae. The rightpelvis, although but partially filled, is evidently smaller thanthe left pelvis. 86 PYELOGRAPHY The course of the ureter varies considerably with thedegree of the renal excursion. As a rule, the course ismore or less tortuous and may show one or more ratheracute angles in its course, which are usually at or near theureteropelvic juncture. It must be remembered, however,that the course of the ureter as seen in the ureterogram maybe greatly altered by the catheter within the ureter. The
