No exposure is acceptable unless its usefulness is demonstrated. Any radiological modality or procedure has to be justified. The second principle of radiation protection is optimization. When the exposure to radiation is justified, an effort must be engaged in order to keep the radiation dose delivered as low as reasonably achievable. The third principle of radiation protection is dose limitation in order to avoid excessive exposure of an individual. The ICRP recommends a set of dose limits for the general public and for people exposed in the course of their
