The results demonstrated nearest neighbor estimation's effectiveness. Except for this, the method imposes no restrictions on the modality of the pretreatment target images and does not assume a specific correspondence function between the surrogate and the target. With only 1 critical parameter, this nearest neighbor estimation method is easy to implement in clinical setting and thus has potential for broad applications.
