Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are acting as counsel to Radiologix, Inc. ("Radiologix"), a
Delaware corporation, in connection with the preparation of its registration
statement on Form S-4 (the Form S-4, including any amendments and supplements
thereto, is referred to herein as the "Registration Statement") filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 14, 2000, under the
Securities Act of 1933, as thereafter amended. The Registration Statement
registers the issuance of 2,982,213 shares of Radiologix's common Stock,
$.0001 par value per share (the "Shares"), to be issued pursuant to the
proposed merger of SKM-RD Acquisition Corp., a Delaware Corporation, with and
into Radiologix. As special counsel to Radiologix in connection with this
transaction, we have examined the proceedings Radiologix has taken and
proposes to take in connection with the issuance of the Shares.
It is our opinion that the Shares, when issued in the manner described
in the Registration Statement, will be legally and validly issued, fully
paid, and nonassessable.
This opinion is furnished to you solely for use in connection with the
Registration Statement. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as
Exhibit 5 to the Registration Statement. We also consent to the reference to
our firm name wherever appearing in the Registration Statement. In giving
this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons
whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission thereunder, nor do we thereby admit that we are experts with
respect to any part of such Registration Statement within the meaning of the
term "experts" as used in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the
rules and regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.
Very truly yours,
/s/ HAYNES and BOONE
