ITEM 2.   ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

(a)  On May 18, 1998, InSight Health Services Corp., a Delaware corporation
     ("Registrant"), through its wholly owned subsidiary, SMSI Acquisition
     Company, a Delaware corporation ("SMSI"), acquired all of the capital 
     stock of Signal Medical Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Signal"),
     in a merger of Signal with and into SMSI (the "Merger").  The Merger was 
     consummated pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of 
     April 15, 1998 among Registrant, SMSI, Signal, SMSI Holdings, Inc. 
     ("Holdings"), Brian P. Stone, Thomas W. Crucitti and Todd Stowell, as
     amended by the First Amendment thereto dated May 15, 1998 and the Second
     Amendment thereto dated May 18, 1998.  Holdings and Messrs. Stone, Crucitti
     and Stowell were the stockholders of Signal (collectively, the "Signal
     Stockholders"). The assets acquired by Registrant as a result of the Merger
     consist of certain tangible and intangible assets, including mobile
     diagnostic imaging equipment, customer contracts and other agreements
     entered into in by Signal in connection with providing diagnostic imaging
     services to customers in the Northeastern and Southeastern United States. 
     Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the Certificate of Merger filed with
     the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, at the effective time of
     the Merger, SMSI changed its name to "Signal Medical Services, Inc."

     The aggregate purchase price, including the assumption of indebtedness, 
     was $45.7 million, and was determined by negotiations among the parties. 
     The purchase price was paid entirely in cash and is subject to 
     certain post-closing adjustments.  A portion of the purchase price is 
     being held in escrow for a period of time after the Merger for the 
     satisfaction of certain indemnification obligations of the Signal 
     Stockholders. As a condition to the Merger, Messrs. Stone, Crucitti, 
     Stowell and David M. Karchner, all former officers and employees of Signal,
     entered into employment agreements with Registrant pursuant to which such 
     individuals agreed to serve as employees of Registrant.  In connection 
     with such employment agreements, Messrs. Stone, Crucitti and Karchner 
     received options to purchase a number of shares of common stock of 
     Registrant.  Registrant utilized its existing credit facility with 
     NationsBank, N.A. to fund the purchase price.

(b)  At the time of the Merger, Signal provided diagnostic imaging services,
     including magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography and lithotripsy
     services, in eleven states, primarily in the Northeastern and Southeastern
     United States.  Registrant intends to use the assets acquired in the Merger
     to expand upon its existing business. Registrant provides diagnostic
     imaging and information, treatment and related management services to
     managed care, hospitals and other contractual customers in 25 United 
     States, including five major U.S. markets.
