One of my college instructors talked about this back in 2005 - did it really take this long for the tech to mature?

  One possible reason: pathology labeling can be prohibitively expensive. You're looking at paying highly-trained specialists to sit down and hand-segment regions of cell types on an entire slide.

    That is definitely one bottle-neck, creating the labelled data-sets is very expensive, besides that there are a large number of privacy sensitive issues that need to be taken care of around the whole labeling process to ensure that patient confidentiality is maintained. Large datasets exist but in general are not available for research for that reason, only a few hospitals have made datasets available without restriction.
