TBE CT Planning Scan?

Hi everyone, I'm a RT student and I'm researching on TBE. I was looking around the internet to see if TBE does a CT Simulation and honestly I got so confused, it seems like there is a CT Sim (according to a website called EviQ( but the patient doesn't get scanned, so what's the point of doing a CT Sim for a TBE patient? When I was reading the CT Simulation section, it pretty much was the exact same thing RT's would do during treatment. On my previous placement I did attend one TBE treatment fraction, and I do remember seeing a CT document in the patient notes (which looked very similar to the treatment set up) . But In comparison to a superficial treatment , superficial RT doesn't do a CT Simulation, and does all the clinical mark ups on the first fraction . Is this the same case for TBE then? And if TBE does do CT Simulation, what's the process ? Sorry if I rambled on a lot! I've got little to no experience with TBE but thought it'll be interesting topic to talk about for uni. Thank you guys!
