There is no evidence of urinary bladder obstruction. Both kidneys present within normal limits for size, shape and organ architecture. After contrast administration a bilaterally symmetric and uniform nephro- and pyelogram isnoted.  The stomach and intestinal loops are mainly fluid filled. The position, delineation and wall of the gastrointestinal tract are considered within normal limits throughout.
