What Challenges Exist in Implementing Open Source in Histology?
Despite its many benefits, there are challenges associated with implementing open source in histology:
Data Standardization: The lack of standardized formats for histological data can hinder the integration and comparison of datasets from different sources. Technical Expertise: Effective use of open source tools often requires a certain level of technical expertise, which may not be available to all researchers or educators. Funding: While open source tools are free to use, developing and maintaining them still requires funding, which can be a challenge to secure. Adoption: Encouraging widespread adoption of open source tools in a field that has traditionally relied on proprietary software can be difficult.
