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.
