Abstract: The herein-developed bioinformatics workflow aims to improve the interpretability of results from a multi-omics integration. Extraction of 86 image features from the CT image series describing tumor characteristics is followed by differential expression/methylation analysis. Regulation of signaling and cellular response to organic substance were reflected in CT image phenotypes. Hypomethylation showed a distinct shift in tumor texture. The described approach is generalizable to other cancer entities or non-malignant diseases to broaden the interpretability of future radiogenomics studies.
