B) Zone I, Zone II, Zone III, Zone IV
C) Controlled, Uncontrolled, Restricted, Public
D) Screening, Preparation, Scanning, Recovery
Answer: B) Zone I, Zone II, Zone III, Zone IV
Rationale: The ACR guidance document defines four safety
zones: Zone I (generally accessible to the public), Zone II (patient
screening and preparation), Zone III (physically restricted area
with potential for injury), and Zone IV (magnet room itself) .

,2. In which zone should patients change out of their street
clothes?
A) Zone I
B) Zone II
C) Zone III
D) Zone IV
Answer: B) Zone II

entering the restricted Zone III .
3. What takes place in Zone II?
A) The actual scanning procedure
B) Public access and reception
C) Screening, changing, and ferromagnetic detection
2
, D) Magnet quench activation
Answer: C) Screening, changing, and ferromagnetic detection

change into appropriate attire, and ferromagnetic detection
screening is performed before entering Zone III .
4. What takes place in Zone IV?
A) Patient screening
B) Public waiting area
C) The scanning procedure
D) Control room operations
Answer: C) The scanning procedure
