Answer:

Collimation affect decreases the  scatter radiation.  

Explanation:

As we know that collimation in radiography reduces the size of x-ray beam which results in low amount of scatter radiation in the patient’s body. This less amount of radiation extends to the IR.  The decreased radiation increases the contrast and decreases the brightness of radiographic images and vice versa.

Its increased amount also reduces the tissue volume that is irradiated. While increasing the amount of collimation the technique factors were needed to be increased to maintain the exposing factor to the IR.

As collimation increases, the field size decreases, and the quantity of scatter radiation decreases; as collimation decreases, the field size increases, and the quantity of scatter radiation increases.

Which of the ways drugs affect the body do you personally find the worst? explain why.
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Drugs affect your body's central nervous system. They affect how you think, feel and behave. The three main types are depressants, hallucinogens and stimulants:

The one I find personally the worst - Depressants slow or 'depress' the function of the central nervous system. They slow the messages going to and from your brain. In small quantities depressants can cause a person to feel relaxed and less inhibited. In large amounts they may cause vomiting, unconsciousness and death. Depressants affect your concentration and coordination, and slow your ability to respond to situations. It is important to not operate heavy machinery while taking depressants. Alcohol, cannabis, GHB, opiates (heroin, morphine, codeine) and benzodiazepines (minor tranquillisers) are examples of depressants.

Hallucinogens distort your sense of reality. You may see or hear things that are not really there, or see things in a distorted way. Other effects can include emotional and psychological euphoria, jaw clenching, panic, paranoia, gastric upset and nausea. Ketamine, LSD, PCP, 'magic mushrooms' and cannabis are examples of hallucinogens.

Stimulants speed or 'stimulate' the central nervous system. They speed up messaging to and from the brain, making you feel more alert and confident. This can cause increased heart rate, blood pressure and body temperature, reduced appetite, agitation and sleeplessness. In large amounts stimulants may cause anxiety, panic, seizures, stomach cramps and paranoia. Caffeine, nicotine, amphetamines (speed and Ice), cocaine and ecstasy (MDMA) are examples of stimulants.

those are 3 ways it effects, personally I find the first one/ "Depressants" the worst
