Segment Information [Abstract]

Segment Information

(13) Segment Information

We have two operating groups which constitute reportable operating segments: Merge Healthcare and Merge DNA.  Merge Healthcare includes the assets and results of DR Systems from the date of acquisition. We evaluate the performance of these operating groups based on their respective revenues and operating income, which exclude public company costs, certain corporate costs (amortization expense that is not specific to a segment), net interest expense and income taxes.

The following tables present operating group financial information for the periods indicated:
