In medicine, the aim of managing radiation exposure is to minimise the presumed low risk without sacrificing, or unduly limiting, the obvious benefits in the prevention, diagnosis, and effective cure of diseases. Using a larger amount of radiation cannot be justified if a smaller amount can deliver the expected benefits, but too low an amount of radiation in [[Application_of_ionising_radiation_in_healthcare#Diagnostic_Radiology|diagnostic radiology]] will result in an image that does not have enough information to make a diagnosis, and in [[Application_of_ionising_radiation_in_healthcare#Radiation_Therapy|radiation therapy]], not delivering enough radiation will result in increased mortality because the cancer being treated will not be cured.
