Table 5.

Association between CT-based texture metrics and protein abundance in patients with HGSOC. Only associations for which the p value was less than 0.05 were included in this table. Positive values of τ indicate positive association between the texture metric and the level of expression of the protein whereas negative values of τ indicate negative association
