Whay are you using USRBDX? You need to score an energy deposition
to define the dose, and this is achieved with USRBIN
(USRBDX is a fluence or current scoring).
You can define different USRBIN cases: spatial segmentaion of your target
and also of space region outside the target. Poovided that these regions
are not assigned to void material, then you can get dose
