ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND EXHIBITS.

         (a)  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF  BUSINESSES ACQUIRED.

    The financial statements of Mobile Imaging Consortium required by this item
are attached.

         (b)  PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION.

    The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements are presented 
which reflect the acquisition of certain assets of Mobile Imaging Consortium, 
Limited Partnership, and Mobile Imaging Consortium - New Hampshire 
(collectively "MIC") by InSight Health Services Corp. ("Registrant") through 
its wholly owned subsidiary, InSight Health  Corp. ("InSight").  The 
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements are provided for 
informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the results 
that actually would have occurred had the acquisition been in effect for the 
period presented.

    The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet is based on
the historical balance sheet as of March 31, 1997 and is presented as if the
acquisition had been consummated at that date.  The Unaudited Pro Forma
Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income is based on the historical statements
of operations of each of InSight and MIC for the nine months ended March 31,
1997, and reflects certain adjustments to give effect to the acquisition as if
it had occurred on July 1, 1996.

    Pro forma adjustments are based on the purchase method of accounting and a
preliminary allocation of the purchase price.  However, changes to the
adjustments included in the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements
are expected as evaluations of assets and liabilities are completed and
additional information becomes available.  Accordingly, the final allocated
values will differ from the amounts used to calculate the adjustments in the
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
