Justification of practice: no practice should be adopted,

Unless its introduction produces a positive net benefit greater
than its harm.
Optimization of practice: all exposures to ionizing radiations
should be kept As Low as Reasonably Achievable (ALARA
principle)
Dose limits and dose constraints: the exposures to
individuals resulting from combination of all relevant practices
should be subject to dose limits and dose constraints.
