Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of American Shared Hospital Services’ consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2021, the results of its operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and the cash flows for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The results of operations for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results on an annualized basis. Consolidated balance sheet amounts as of December 31, 2020 have been derived from audited consolidated financial statements.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in American Shared Hospital Services’ Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American Shared Hospital Services and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as follows: the Company wholly-owns the subsidiaries American Shared Radiosurgery Services (“ASRS”), PBRT Orlando, LLC (“Orlando”), and OR21, Inc.; the Company is the majority owner of Long Beach Equipment, LLC (“LBE”); ASRS is the majority-owner of GK Financing, LLC (“GKF”) which wholly-owns the subsidiary Instituto de Gamma Knife del Pacifico S.A.C. (“GKPeru”) and HoldCo GKC S.A. (“HoldCo”). GKF is the majority owner of the subsidiaries Albuquerque GK Equipment, LLC (“AGKE”) and Jacksonville GK Equipment, LLC (“JGKE”). GKF acquired Gamma Knife Center Ecuador S.A. (“GKCE”) through HoldCo in June 2020.

The Company (through ASRS) and Elekta AB, the manufacturer of the Gamma Knife (through its wholly-owned United States subsidiary, GKV Investments, Inc.), entered into an operating agreement and formed GKF. As of June 30, 2021, GKF provides Gamma Knife units to thirteen medical centers in the United States in the states of Arkansas, California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, and Texas. GKF also owns and operates single-unit Gamma Knife facilities in Lima, Peru and Guayaquil, Ecuador. The Company through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Orlando, provided proton beam radiation therapy (“PBRT”) and related equipment to a customer in the United States.

The Company formed the subsidiaries GKPeru and acquired GKCE for the purposes of expanding its business internationally; Orlando and LBE to provide PBRT equipment and services in Orlando, Florida and Long Beach, California, respectively; and AGKE and JGKE to provide Gamma Knife equipment and services in Albuquerque, New Mexico and Jacksonville, Florida, respectively. LBE is not expected to generate revenue within the next two years.

On June 12, 2020, GKF purchased approximately 98% of the total outstanding shares of GKCE, from GKCE’s majority shareholders (the “Acquisition”). As of June 30, 2021, the Company had acquired approximately 99.3% of the total outstanding shares of GKCE. The base purchase price for the Acquisition, including acquisition of the minority shares was approximately $2,000,000. This purchase price was paid with $575,000 in cash and a $1,425,000 loan from the United States International Development Finance Corporation (“DFC”). The purchase price was subject to certain post-closing adjustments, including adjustment for GKCE's working capital and excess cash, totaling $883,000. The DFC loan is denominated in U.S. dollars, which is also the currency of Ecuador. See “Note 9. GKCE Acquisition” for further discussion.

The Company continues to develop its design and business model for The Operating Room for the 21st CenturySM through its 50% owned OR21, LLC (“OR21 LLC”). The remaining 50% is owned by an architectural design company. OR21 LLC is not expected to generate significant revenue for at least the next two years.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The COVID-19 pandemic, the resulting recession in the United States and its follow-on effects have impacted and will likely continue to impact business activity across industries, including the Company’s. During 2020, due to factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic such as delays in service at medical facilities and restrictions imposed by government agencies, and the Company’s customers in response to the spread of COVID-19, the Company experienced some delays in delivering certain Gamma Knife procedures and PBRT treatments. Similarly, the Company’s ability to conduct commercial efforts with its customers have been and are likely to continue to be disrupted as customers have turned their focus to dealing with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their operations and have restricted access to their sites in efforts to contain the spread of the virus. The global nature of the pandemic has resulted in authorities implementing numerous measures designed to contain the virus, including travel bans and restrictions, border closures, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, business limitations and shutdowns. The prioritization of COVID-19 treatment and containment has resulted in delays in decisions by the Company’s customers and their patients, obstacles to the Company’s ability to market and deliver its services, declines in treatment volumes and adverse impacts to revenues for both Gamma Knife procedures and PBRT treatments. As a result of the pandemic and related governmental actions, Gamma Knife procedures and PBRT treatments, which currently make up all of the Company’s revenue, may be impacted differently at each of the Company’s various locations and may take longer to recover than other areas of the economy, which may have a material impact on the Company's business. However, during the three-month period ended June 30, 2021, the Company's domestic Gamma Knife procedure volume returned to pre-pandemic levels. The Company’s Gamma Knife operations in Latin America have experienced a decline in procedures due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but during during the three-month period ended June 30, 2021, Gamma Knife procedures in Latin America were strong however still below pre-pandemic levels. The Company's PBRT business continues to be impacted by COVID-19 as treatment volumes continue to decline from pre-pandemic levels. As the COVID-19 pandemic evolves and new strains of the virus develop, additional impacts may arise that we are not aware of currently.

Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Based on the guidance provided in accordance with ASC 280 Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), the Company analyzed its subsidiaries which are all in the business of leasing radiosurgery and radiation therapy equipment to healthcare providers, and concluded there are two reportable segments, domestic and foreign. The Company provides Gamma Knife and PBRT equipment to fourteen hospitals in the United States and owns and operates two single-unit facilities in Lima, Peru and Guayaquil, Ecuador as of June 30, 2021. The Company determined two reportable segments existed due to similarities in economics of business operations and geographic location. The operating results of the two reportable segments are reviewed by the Company’s CEO and President, Chief Operating and Financial Officer, who are also deemed the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Makers. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had one reportable segment. Following the Company's acquisition of GKCE in June 2020, the Company concluded it had two reportable segments.
