Lines #1–45 indicate position of sections in the following CT series. Consecutive sections, 10 mm thick. The gastrointestinal tract is outlined by peroral contrast medium. The urinary tract is outlined by excretion of intravenous watersoluble contrast medium. Residues of contrast from an earlier lymphography are present in some iliac and lumbar lymph nodes.
