Drip infusion pyelography by Schencker technique was carried out on total of 20 cases, 7 normal and 13 abnormal. Of 13 abnormal cases, definite diagnosis could be obtained in 1 cases in which conventional urography had not been helpful in establishment of diagnosis, and significant information could be obtained in 6 cases. This is the first report on drip infusion pyelography in this country and no complication was observed during the examination. Drip infusion pyelography was found valuable in cases with the following problems; 1) When valuable information can not be obtained through the conventional urography. 2) When renal function is poor. 3) When delineation of anatomical details is desirable. 4) When retrograde pyelography is contraindicated. Drip infusion pyelography is a safe, new and widely accepted diagnostic procedure in urographic study.
