Abstract
The auscultation with a stethoscope is a noninvasive method to detect stenoses in the arterial system. Only with a long experience a rough diagnosis can be given (1). Present investigations try to find out, whether a spectral analysis of the recorded sound can be used to improve the diagnosis. This is a difficult problem since the arterial sound is influenced by the unknown geometry of the stenosis, the disturbed, unsteady flow, the properties of the arterial wall, and by the surrounding tissue. It was therefore decided to isolate the various parameters and to study their influence on the arterial sound in model investigations (2,3).
