Stenosis
From Wikipedia
Stenosis
A stenosis (plural: stenoses; from Ancient Greek στένωσις,
"narrowing") is an abnormal narrowing in a blood vessel or
other tubular organ or structure. It is also sometimes called a
"stricture" (as in urethral stricture).
Stenoses of the vascular type are often associated with a
noise (bruit) resulting from turbulent flow over the narrowed
blood vessel. This bruit can be made audible by a
stethoscope. Other, more reliable methods of diagnosing a
stenosis are imaging methods including ultrasound, Magnetic
Resonance Imaging/Magnetic Resonance Angiography,
Computed Tomography/CT-Angiography which combine
anatomic imaging (i.e. the visible narrowing of a vessel) with
the display of flow phenomena (visualization of the movement
of the bodily fluid through the bodily structure).
