Abstract
ALARA is a well-known principle that has been used to identify optimization of x-ray exposure in the field of radiology since the seventies. While ALARA implies the responsibility to minimize radiation exposures to a level As Low As Reasonably Achievable, some years ago, a variation of the acronym, ALADA, was proposed which took into account the evolution of imaging technology and any related dose increases 1 .
