A How to Calculate the Source Activity from Dose Rate in MCBEND

Hello everyone,
In the MCBEND simulation I've conducted, I have found the dose rate of a gamma source in microSieverts per hour (µSv/h). I also know the distance between the detector and the source. How can I calculate the source activity or strength from this information?
Thank you,
Best wishes

You need at least the specific gamma-ray constant for the source.
 
I have never heard of MCBEND but cannot see how it can calculate without the size, shape and orientation of the detector.

Well, I'm simulating a neutron-proton scattering phase shift. The equation that I solve numerically is the Phase function method and is $$ \frac{d}{dr}[\delta_{i+1}] = \frac{2\mu}{\hbar^2}\frac{V(r)}{k^2}\sin(kr + \delta_i)$$ ##\delta_i## is the phase shift for triplet and singlet state, ##\mu## is the reduced mass for neutron-proton, ##k=\sqrt{2\mu E_{cm}/\hbar^2}## is the wave number and ##V(r)## is the potential of interaction like Yukawa, Wood-Saxon, Square well potential, etc. I first...
