Competing Interests

Georg Steiner is co-owner and founder of TissueGnostics. TissueGnostics supported the project by scanning and by developing software algorithms for the analysis of the slides. Georg Steiner did not influence the data and data interpretation. Writing of the manuscript was done without Georg Steiner’s influence. Radu Rogujanu is an employee of Tissue Gnostics Gmbh. Radu Rogujau and Georg Steiner acknowledge financial support from the EC Marie Curie Actions, AIDPATH project (num. 612471). The funder provided support in the form of salaries for authors [RR], but did not have any additional role in the study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript. This does not alter our adherence to PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
