Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
SEGMENT INFORMATION SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has two reportable operating segments: Oncology Systems and Proton Solutions. The Company's Interventional Solutions business is reflected in the "Other" category because it does not meet the criteria for a reportable operating segment. The operating segments were determined based on how the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, its Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), views and evaluates the Company’s operations. The CODM allocates resources to and evaluates the financial performance of each operating segment primarily based on operating earnings.
Description of Segments
The Oncology Systems segment designs, manufactures, sells and services hardware and software products for treating cancer with conventional radiation therapy, and advanced treatments such as fixed field intensity-modulated radiation therapy (“IMRT”), image-guided radiation therapy (“IGRT”), volumetric modulated arc therapy ("VMAT"), stereotactic radiosurgery (“SRS”), stereotactic body radiotherapy (“SBRT”) and brachytherapy as well as associated quality assurance equipment.
The Oncology Systems’ hardware products include linear accelerators, brachytherapy afterloaders, treatment accessories, artificial intelligence-powered adaptive delivery systems and quality assurance software. The Oncology Systems’ software solutions include treatment planning, informatics, clinical knowledge exchange, patient care management, practice management and decision support for comprehensive cancer clinics, radiotherapy centers and medical oncology practices.
Oncology Systems’ products enable radiation oncology departments in hospitals and clinics to perform conventional radiotherapy treatments and offer advanced treatments such as IMRT, IGRT, VMAT, SRS and SBRT, and treat patients using brachytherapy techniques, which involve the introduction or temporary insertion of radioactive sources. The Oncology Systems' products are also used by surgeons and radiation oncologists to perform stereotactic radiosurgery and by medical oncology departments to manage patient treatments. Oncology Systems’ customers worldwide include university research and community hospitals, private and governmental institutions, healthcare agencies, physicians’ offices, medical oncology practices, radiotherapy centers and cancer care clinics.
The Oncology Systems segment offers services ranging from hardware phone support, break/fix repair of linear accelerators, obsolescence protection of hardware, software support, software upgrades, hosting as a service, as well as clinical consulting services.

The Oncology Systems segment also provides clinical practice services that assist within the clinical workflow. These services focus on decision support and/or cancer care knowledge augmentation aimed at facilitating improved accessibility and affordability to care while maintaining a fundamental level of clinical quality. Further, the Company operates ten multi-disciplinary cancer centers and one specialty hospital in India and one multi-disciplinary cancer center in Sri Lanka.
The Proton Solutions segment develops, designs, manufactures, sells and services products and systems for delivering proton therapy, another form of external beam radiotherapy using proton beams, for the treatment of cancer.
The Other category primarily includes the Interventional Solutions business, which offers products for interventional oncology procedures and treatments, including cryoablation, microwave ablation and embolization. Interventional Solutions also provides software and remote services for post treatment dose calculation for Yttrium-90 microspheres used in selective internal radiation therapy. The Other category also includes assets related to the use of radiation in the heart and other forms of radiosurgery for cardiovascular disease.
The following information is provided for the purpose of achieving an understanding of operations but may not be indicative of the financial results of the reported segments were they independent organizations. In addition, comparisons of the Company’s operations to similar operations of other companies may not be meaningful.
The Company allocates corporate costs to its operating segments based on the relative revenues of Oncology Systems, Proton Solutions and Interventional Solutions. The Company allocates these costs, excluding certain corporate related costs, transactions or adjustments that the Company's CODM considers to be non-operational, such as restructuring and impairment charges, significant litigation charges or benefits and legal costs, and acquisition-related expenses and in process research and development. Although the Company excludes these amounts from segment operating earnings, they are included in the condensed consolidated operating earnings and included in the reconciliation below.
The following table summarizes select financial results for each reportable segment:
