                                                      Specialised radiation therapy simulation and dosimetry for treatment planning, if:
                                                      (a) all of the following apply in relation to the simulation:
                                                      (i) treatment set‑up and technique specifications are in preparation for a specialised application such as total skin electron therapy (TSE) or total body irradiation (TBI);
                                                      (ii) reproducible personalised patient set‑up and immobilisation techniques are suitable to implement three‑dimensional radiation therapy, intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) (including multiple non‑coplanar, rotational or fixed beam treatment delivery) or a specialised total body treatment delivery method;
                                                      (iii) a specialised dataset of anatomical dimensions is acquired in the treatment position for TSE or TBI; and
                                                      (b) all of the following apply in relation to the dosimetry:
                                                      (i) total TSE, TBI, IMRT or multiple non‑coplanar, rotational or fixed beam treatment is used;
                                                      (ii) the final dosimetry plan is validated by a radiation therapist and a medical physicist, using quality assurance processes;
                                                      (iii) the final dosimetry plan is approved, prior to treatment delivery, by a radiation oncologist
                                                      Applicable once per course of treatment
