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


         (a) Financial statements of businesses acquired and (b) Pro forma
         financial information (unaudited)


         On February 8, 2000, InSight Health Services Corp. ("Registrant") filed
         with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Current Report on Form
         8-K ("Form 8-K") reporting under Item 2 thereof the Registrant's
         acquisition ("Acquisition") of substantially all of the assets of
         Southern Regional MRI, LLC and Indiana MRI of Indianapolis, LLC
         pursuant to an Asset Purchase and Liabilities Assumption Agreement
         dated January 21, 2000. The Registrant also stated in response to Item
         7 of the Form 8-K its intention to file financial statements and pro
         forma financial information with respect to the Acquisition.

         The Form 8-K was filed based upon the Registrant's belief that the
         Acquisition involved "a significant amount of assets" as defined under
         Item 2 of the Form 8-K. The purpose of this amendment to the Form 8-K
         is to report that, based upon the Registrant's review of the recently
         completed audited financial statements with respect to the Acquisition,
         the Acquisition did not in fact involve "a significant amount of
         assets." Financial statements and pro forma financial information with
         respect to the Acquisition are therefore not required by Item 7 of the
         Form 8-K and will not be filed.




                                   SIGNATURES

         Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
