Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures Disclosure [Text Block]

We have eight unconsolidated joint ventures with ownership interests ranging from 35% to 50%. These joint ventures represent partnerships with hospitals, health systems or radiology practices and were formed for the purpose of owning and operating diagnostic imaging centers.  Professional services at the joint venture diagnostic imaging centers are performed by contracted radiology practices or a radiology practice that participates in the joint venture.  Our investment in these joint ventures is accounted for under the equity method.   Investment in joint ventures increased approximately $793,000 to $23.1 million at June 30, 2012 compared to $22.3 million at December 31, 2011.  This increase is primarily related to additional equity contributions made to one of these joint ventures of approximately $920,000 as well as our recording of equity earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2012 of approximately $3.2 million. Offsetting this increase is our respective share of distributions received during the six months ended June 30, 2012 of $3.4 million.  

 

We received management service fees from the centers underlying these joint ventures of approximately $1.7 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, and approximately $3.4 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. We eliminate the portion of the fees earned associated with our ownership from our service revenue with an offsetting increase to our equity earnings.
