Exploring each zone reveals the safety measures that are crucial for protecting patients and healthcare personnel.

2022年10月31日 · It is recommended that patient preparation for the MRI examination take place in Zone II. This preparation includes MRI screening, medical history, and appropriate patient gowning. In other words, MRI Zone II provides an intermediary space or buffer between Zone I and the more strictly controlled MRI zones (III and IV).

What are the ACR Safety Zones? The American College of Radiology has defined four safety zones within MRI facilities. These are denoted Zones I through IV and correspond to levels of increasing magnetic field exposure (and hence potential safety concern).

2020年10月30日 · Zone One: This is the safest zone. It is essentially all areas that the general public can access freely. No hazards are posed by the magnet in these areas. The scope of this zone includes the entrance to the MR facility or hospital. Zone Two: This is the buffer between zones one and three.

The MRI Facility in the CIS is divided into four safety zones as indicated in the figure on this page. Zones are labeled 1-4 and each Zone represents a progressively greater level of access restriction.

At UCSF, each MRI site is divided into 4 safety zones based on the American College of Radiology guidelines: Zone 1: General public area outside the MR environment. This area is the reception and waiting areas. Zone 2: Area between Zone 1 (Public Access) and the strictly controlled Zone 2 (Control Room) and Zone 3 (Magnet). This is the area ...

2024年2月5日 · The American College of Radiology defines four zones relating to personnel and care provided near MRI machines. 1 Zone I: This includes all areas that are freely accessible to the public. Zone II: This area is the interface between the public zone I and the strictly controlled zones III and IV.

Zone I: This region includes all areas that are freely accessible to the general public. This area is typically outside the MRI environment itself and is the area through which patients, health care personnel and other employees of the MR site access the MR environment.

2021年1月4日 · a. Zone 1 (Figure 1): includes areas that are freely accessible to public and typically outside MRI environment. It is known as the access area to MRI environment. This zone is not controlled by MRI personnel; b. Zone 2 (Figure 2): it is the interface between publicly uncontrolled accessible zone 1 and the strictly controlled zones 3 and 4 ...

2.2.1 Zone I encompasses all areas freely accessible to the general public and is outside the MR environment itself. This zone includes all areas of Robarts Research Institute excluding the MRI facilities, outside the building, the parking lot, and LHSC University hospital.
