Key Points

The study aims to clarify the mechanisms behind shunt sound generation for the development of a noninvasive stenosis detection method.
Investigated flow within a shunt vascular model using particle image velocimetry.
Measured vorticity intensity fluctuations as potential sources of shunt sounds.
Conducted spectral analysis of the high-frequency components related to stenosis.
The study found that stenosis leads to a 3–5 dB/Hz increase in high-frequency spectrum above 400 Hz.
A similar trend was observed between vorticity intensity fluctuations and shunt sound acoustics.
Findings suggest that vorticity fluctuations downstream of the stenosis contribute to the generation of shunt sounds.

Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.

Demonstrates increased high-frequency spectrum in dialysis shunt models, suggesting methods for early stenosis detection.
