Overview We are a leading national provider of freestanding, fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services inthe United States based on number of locations and annual imaging revenue. AtSeptember 30, 2022 , we operated, directly or indirectly through joint ventures with hospitals, 349 centers located inArizona ,California ,Delaware ,Florida ,Maryland ,New Jersey , andNew York . Our operations comprise two segments for financial reporting purposes for this reporting period, Imaging Centers and Artificial Intelligence 28 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Our Imaging Center segment provides physicians with imaging capabilities to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders. Services include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), nuclear medicine, mammography, ultrasound, diagnostic radiology (X-ray), fluoroscopy and other related procedures. The vast majority of our centers offer multi-modality imaging services, a strategy that diversifies revenue streams, reduces exposure to reimbursement changes and provides patients and referring physicians one location to serve the needs of multiple procedures. Included in the segment is our eRad subsidiary, which designs the underlying critical scheduling, data storage and retrieval systems necessary for imaging center operation. Our Artificial Intelligence ("AI") segment that has been established through our acquisitions of DeepHealth,Nulogix Aidence Holding B.V. andQuantib B.V. . Our current AI focus is to develop solutions that employ machine learning to assist radiologists and other clinicians in interpreting images and improving patient care, initially in the fields of brain, breast, prostate, and pulmonary diagnostics. We derive substantially all of our revenue, directly or indirectly, from fees charged for the diagnostic imaging services performed at our imaging centers. The following table shows our centers in operation and revenues for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 andSeptember 30, 2021 : Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 2021 Centers in operation 349 353 Net revenues (millions) $ 1,046$ 982 Our revenue is derived from a diverse mix of payors, including private, managed care capitated and government payors. We believe our payor diversity mitigates our exposure to possible unfavorable reimbursement trends within any one payor class. In addition, our experience with capitation arrangements over the last several years has provided us with the expertise to manage utilization and pricing effectively, resulting in a predictable stream of revenue. Our total service fee revenues during the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021 are presented in the table below. Our imaging center revenue is displayed as the estimated service fee, broken down by classification of insurance coverage type. Additional revenues are earned from our management services provided to joint ventures and our software and AI subsidiaries.

We continued to pursue our strategy of expansion within geographic regions, with a concentration on adding new facilities inMaryland . While imaging 29 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents volumes returned to pre-pandemic levels, our operations have experienced effects from the pandemic and related macroeconomic issues. We are experiencing tighter labor markets, resulting in increased salaries as we seek to retain our skilled workforce. Our acquisitions ofAidence Holding B.V. andQuantib B.V. have expanded our AI initiatives to encompass imaging diagnostics solutions for the most prevalent cancers. Efforts in AI are largely in the product development stage at this time and we expect that the segment will continue to experience operating losses for the foreseeable future as we seek to secure both regulatory approvals and market acceptance for our products.

Critical Accounting Policies
The Securities and Exchange Commission defines critical accounting estimates as those that are both most important to the portrayal of a company's financial condition and results of operations and require management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. In Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in this quarterly report and in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year endedDecember 31, 2021 , we discuss our significant accounting policies, including those that do not require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates. The most significant areas involving management's judgments and estimates are described below.
Use of Estimates
The financial statements were prepared in accordance withU.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions affect various matters, including our reported amounts of assets and liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets at the dates of the financial statements; our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements; and our reported amounts of revenues and expenses in our consolidated statements of operations during the reporting periods. These estimates involve judgments with respect to numerous factors that are difficult to predict and are beyond management's control. As a result, actual amounts could materially differ from these estimates. 32
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
Revenues
Our revenues generally relate to net patient fees received from various payors and patients themselves under contracts in which our performance obligations are to provide diagnostic services to the patients. Revenues are recorded during the period our obligations to provide diagnostic services are satisfied. Our performance obligations for diagnostic services are generally satisfied over a period of less than one day. The contractual relationships with patients, in most cases, also involve a third-party payor (Medicare, Medicaid, managed care health plans and commercial insurance companies, including plans offered through the health insurance exchanges) and the transaction prices for the services provided are dependent upon the terms provided by (Medicare and Medicaid) or negotiated with (managed care health plans and commercial insurance companies) the third-party payors. The payment arrangements with third-party payors for the services we provide to the related patients typically specify payments at amounts less than our standard charges and generally provide for payments based upon predetermined rates per diagnostic services or discounted fee-for-service rates. Management continually reviews the contractual estimation process to consider and incorporate updates to laws and regulations, changes in business and economic conditions, and the frequent changes in managed care contractual terms resulting from contract re-negotiations and renewals. As it relates to the Group, this service fee revenue includes payments for both the professional medical interpretation revenue recognized by them as well as the payment for all other aspects related to our providing the imaging services, for which we earn management fees. As it relates to other centers, this service fee revenue is earned through providing the use of our diagnostic imaging equipment and the provision of technical services as well as providing administration services such as clerical and administrative personnel, bookkeeping and accounting services, billing and collection, provision of medical and office supplies, secretarial, reception and transcription services, maintenance of medical records, and advertising, marketing and promotional activities. Our revenues are based upon our management's estimate of amounts we expect to be entitled to receive from patients and third-party payors. Estimates of contractual allowances under Medicare, Medicaid, managed care and commercial insurance plans are based upon historical collection experience of the payments received from such payors in accordance with the underlying contractual agreements. Revenues related to uninsured patients and uninsured copayment and deductible amounts for patients who have health care coverage may have price concessions applied. We also record estimated implicit price concessions (based primarily on historical collection experience) related to uninsured accounts to record self-pay revenues at the estimated amounts we expect to collect. Under capitation arrangements with various health plans, we earn a per-enrollee amount each month for making available diagnostic imaging services to all plan enrollees under the capitation arrangement. Revenue under capitation arrangements is recognized in the period in which we are obligated to provide services to plan enrollees under contracts with various health plans. Our estimates and assumptions related to revenue recognition did not change materially for the quarter endedSeptember 30, 2022 .
The Provider Relief Fund offers government assistance to eligible providers throughout the healthcare system in support of certain expenses or lost revenue attributable to the coronavirus pandemic. We have recorded provider relief funding in our condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the amount of$6.3 million for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 . No provider relief funding was received for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 . Generally, the department ofHealth and Human Services ("HHS") does not intend to recoup funds as long as a provider's lost revenue and increased expenses exceed the amount of provider relief funding one has received. HHS reserves the right to auditRelief Fund recipients in the future to ensure that this requirement is met and collect anyRelief Fund amounts that were made in error or exceed lost revenue or increased expenses due to the pandemic. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions may be grounds for recoupment. In recognizing revenue associated with provider relief funding our management is required to assess whether our operations have meet the applicable requirements for the funding received. During the quarter endedSeptember 30, 2022 , we continued to evaluate our operating results in light of the most recent government guidance and based on our assessment, the amount of revenue recognized is appropriate.
Accounts Receivable
Substantially all of our accounts receivable are due under fee-for-service contracts from third party payors, such as insurance companies and government-sponsored healthcare programs, or directly from patients. Services are generally provided pursuant to one-year contracts with healthcare providers. Receivables generally are collected within industry norms for third-party payors. We continuously monitor collections from our payors and maintain an allowance for bad debts based upon 33
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
specific payor collection issues that we have identified and our historical
experience. Our estimates and assumptions for allowances on our account
receivable did not change materially during the quarter ended
2022
Business Combination
We evaluate all acquisitions under the framework Clarifying the Definition of a Business in the accounting guidance. Once a purchase has been determined to be the acquisition of a business, we are required to recognize the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values. Any portion of the purchase consideration transferred in excess of the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, is allocated to goodwill. The allocation requires our management to make estimates of the value of various assets acquired and liabilities assumed. While we use our best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to our consolidated statements of operations.
Goodwill atSeptember 30, 2022 totaled$575.1 million . Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets atSeptember 30, 2022 were$12.7 million and are associated with the value of certain trade name intangibles. Our management reviews the fair value of our reporting units on an annual basis to determine if an event has occurred which suggest that the fair value of a reporting unit may be impaired. When we determine the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge would be recognized and should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The review of fair value requires our management to make assessments of the business and financial prospects for a particular reporting unit. We tested goodwill for impairment onOctober 1, 2021 . We also continue at regular intervals to consider the current and expected future economic and market conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and to date have not had an indication of goodwill impairment being more likely than not throughSeptember 30, 2022 .
