         - COMPANY REPORTS EARNINGS PER SHARE OF $0.20 VS. $0.07 -
       - COMPANY ANNOUNCES PROPOSED $100 MILLION PRIVATE PLACEMENT -

     NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA, May 14, 1998 - InSight Health Services
Corp. (""InSight") (NASDAQ: IHSC) today reported results of operations for
its third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1998.

     Total revenues for the quarter increased 24% to $28,559,000 from
$23,033,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 1997.  Net income grew to
$1,930,000 or $0.20 per share (diluted) compared with $380,000 or $0.07 per
share for the same period last year.

     Total revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 increased 26%
to $85,673,000 from $68,129,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997.
In the quarter ended December 31, 1997, InSight recorded a one-time charge
of approximately $6,309,000 associated with the termination, as part of
InSight's 1997 capital infusion, of its supplemental service fee agreement
with General Electric Company ("GE"), which entitled GE to receive payments
equal to 14% of InSight's pretax income.  Net income exclusive of the one-
time charge was $4,856,000 or $0.62 per share (diluted) for the first nine
months ended March 31, 1998, compared to net income of $748,000 or $0.14
per share for the same period last year.  Giving effect to the one-time
charge, InSight reported a net loss of $1,453,000 or ($0.19) per share for
the nine months ended March 31, 1998.

     Commenting on the quarter, E. Larry Atkins, InSight's President and
Chief Executive Officer stated, "We continue to see increased benefits from
the recent capital infusion.  Interest rates have been reduced, margins
have increased, and our acquisition strategy remains on track.  As
previously announced, in April 1998, InSight signed a definitive agreement
to acquire Signal Medical Services, Inc, which generated revenues of
approximately $21 million in 1997.

Upon completion, the transaction will significantly expand and strengthen our 
geographic coverage on the East Coast."

     Atkins continued, "Also during the quarter, we signed an agreement
with The Memorial Hermann Health System in Houston, Texas to provide MRI
services and manage Hermann Hospital's freestanding imaging centers, a
multi-modality co-source agreement with Catholic Healthcare West to provide
all outpatient radiology services on the campus of St. John's Regional
Medical Center in Oxnard, California, and a national contract with
Community Health Systems to be the sole preferred provider for mobile MRI
services to its affiliated hospitals.   We also placed into service an Open
MRI system at the imaging center in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, which we
acquired in November 1997.  In addition, we are aggressively pursuing our
regional diagnostic imaging network strategy to support the continued
growth of our core business."

     Thomas V. Croal, InSight's Chief Financial Officer, added, "We have
completed seven acquisitions since July 1996.  Our ability to effectively
integrate acquisitions into our existing networks continues to improve our
operating results."

Private Placement

     The Company also announced that it intends to raise approximately $100
million pursuant to a private placement of senior subordinated notes,
subject to market and other conditions.  The securities to be offered in
the private placement will not be registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, or applicable state securities laws, and may not be
offered or sold absent registration under the Securities Act and applicable
state securities laws or applicable exemptions from registration
requirements.

     The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the proposed private
placement to pay certain indebtedness outstanding under its existing bank
credit facility.  Amounts used to pay such indebtedness may be reborrowed
for general corporate purposes, including, future acquisitions.
