In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the dorsal striatum nuclei of patients diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder by texture analysis method from magnetic resonance imaging images and to compare them with healthy controls. Study groups consisted of 20 female patients and 20 healthy women. The brains of patients and controls were scanned for high-resolution images with a 1.5T scanner using the sagittal plane and 3D spiral fast spin echo sequence. Using the texture analysis method, mean, standard deviation, minimum, maximum, median, variance, entropy, size %L, size %U, size %M, kurtosis, skewness and homogeneity values of the dorsal striatum nuclei were calculated from the images. The data were compared with comparison tests according to Kolmogorov–Smirnov test results. There was no statistically significant difference between paired regions in terms of texture analysis findings in the cross-sectional images of the participants. In patients, mean, standard deviation, minimum, maximum, median, variance and entropy values for the putamen nucleus, and mean, standard deviation, minimum, maximum, median, variance, entropy and kurtosis values for the caudate nucleus were found significantly higher than controls. Additional receiver operating characteristic curve and logistic regression analyzes were performed. The implications of the results of the study are that there are significant microstructural changes in the dorsal striatum nuclei of patients and their reflection on brain images. Texture analysis is a useful technique to show tissue changes in the dorsal striatum of patients using images. It is highly recommended to use texture analysis to identify and evaluate potentially affected areas of the brain in new studies.

在这项研究中，旨在通过磁共振成像图像的纹理分析方法评估诊断为功能性神经障碍患者的背侧纹状体核，并将其与健康对照组进行比较。研究组由 20 名女性患者和 20 名健康女性组成。使用 1.5T 扫描仪使用矢状平面和 3D 螺旋快速自旋回波序列扫描患者和对照组的大脑以获得高分辨率图像。使用纹理分析方法，从图像计算背侧纹状体核的平均值、标准差、最小值、最大值、中值、方差、熵、大小 %L、大小 %U、大小 %M、峰度、偏度和均匀度值。根据 Kolmogorov-Smirnov 测试结果将数据与比较测试进行比较。在参与者的横截面图像中的纹理分析结果方面，配对区域之间没有统计学上的显着差异。在患者中，发现壳核的平均值、标准差、最小值、最大值、中值、方差和熵值，以及尾状核的平均值、标准差、最小值、最大值、中值、方差、熵和峰度值显着高于控制。进行了额外的受试者工作特征曲线和逻辑回归分析。该研究结果的含义是，患者的背侧纹状体核存在显着的微观结构变化及其对大脑图像的反映。纹理分析是一种有用的技术，可以使用图像显示患者背侧纹状体的组织变化。
