k Q for clinical ion chambers<br />
• Fano test is usually for simple `in air’ ion chambers<br />
• real interest is `in-phantom’<br />
• egs_chamber code <strong>of</strong> Wulff et al (Med Phys 35<br />
(2008) 1328)<br />
– very efficient: correlated sampling<br />
– handles complex realistic geometries<br />
