hi Thereza

the method used in the initial mcx implementation could get
fluence in non-absorbing area, but around 2010, it was changed
to a more common approach by converting from
energy deposition. if a medium has no absorption, then the
energy deposition is zero, thus, it produces a zero fluence.

a work-around to that is to set a very small absorption to the
medium's mua.
