Inflammatory disease of the ureter.
This article examines how the spectrum of responses of the ureter to inflammation is manifested in conventional radiography and to some extent in newer modalities, such as ultrasound, CT scan, and MR imaging. Common clinical entities are highlighted. The re-emergence of tuberculosis in the urinary tract and current information on infection with organisms are also discussed.
