Answer:A and D

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the greatest ways the study of radioactive elements have been of help to man is in the area of medical imaging used in diagnosis of various aliments and in the area of controlled fission reactions used in electricity generation and to power submarines. Nuclear fuels are required in just a very minute amount but can remain in use for a very long time. In the area of medical imaging, accuracy in medical diagnosis have greatly improved by the application of this method.
