                    Pursuant to Rule 13d-2 of the General Rules and
          Regulations under the Act, this Amendment No. 3 amends the
          Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on September 19, 1995 (the
          "Statement") with respect to the common stock, $.01 par value per
          share, of Advanced Mammography Systems, Inc. (the "AMS Common
          Stock"), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Statement filed
          with the Commission on February 21, 1996 and Amendment No. 2 to
          the Statement filed with the Commission on June 12, 1996.  Terms
          used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective
          meanings set forth in the Statement.  Except as otherwise
          expressly indicated below, the information provided in the
          Statement remains in effect.

        ITEM 2.   IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND
                  ------------------------

                  This Amendment No. 3 is filed on behalf of Advanced NMR.

                  The following changes have occurred in the executive
        officers and directors of Advanced NMR:
                  John A. Lynch is no longer Senior Vice President and
        director of Advanced NMR, Edward J. Connors and George A. Silver are
        no longer directors of Advanced NMR, and Charles Moche is no longer
        Chief Financial Officer of Advanced NMR.

                  Steven L. James became Chief Financial officer of Advanced
        NMR on February 28, 1997.  Mr. James' principal employment is as
        Chief Financial Officer of Advanced NMR and AMS, and his business
        address is 46 Jonspin Road, Wilmington, MA 10887-1082.  During the
        last five years, Mr. James has not been convicted in a criminal
        proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors),
        nor has he been a party to a civil party of a judicial or
        administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such
        proceeding has been subject to, federal or state securities laws or
        finding any violation with respect to such laws.  Mr. James is a
        citizen of the United States.  

        ITEM 4.   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
                  -----------------------
                  (b)  On February 27, 1997, pursuant to an Agreement and
        Plan of Merger, dated January 20, 1997 (the "Merger Agreement"),
        among Advanced NMR, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Medical Diagnostics,
        Inc. ("MDI"), US Diagnostic Inc. ("USD") and its newly-formed wholly-
        owned subsidiary, MDI Acquisition Corporation ("MAC"), MDI merged
        (the "Merger") with MAC and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of USD. 
        Upon the closing of the Merger, all outstanding indebtedness of MDI
        to Chase Bank (formerly Chemical Bank) was repaid and the Stock
        Pledge Agreement, pursuant to which Advanced NMR had secured its
        guarantee of the MDI indebtedness by the pledge of 1,250,000 shares
        (the "Pledged Shares") of AMS Common Stock was terminated.  The
        Merger Agreement also required Advanced NMR, in part, to secure
        certain indemnification obligations thereunder by a pledge, among
        other collateral, of the Pledged Shares, of AMS Common Stock pursuant
        to a Blocked Account, Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of
        February 27, 1997 (the "Security Agreement").    

                  A copy of the Security Agreement is incorporated herein as
        Exhibit 3.  The description of the pledge arrangement provided herein
        is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Security Agreement.

        ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
                  ------------------------------------
                  (a)   As of February 27, 1997, Advanced NMR was the
        beneficial owner of 4,000,000 shares of AMS Common Stock.  The
        4,000,000 shares included the Pledged Shares and 2,750,000 shares
        (the "Escrow Shares") held pursuant to an Escrow Agreement, dated as
        of January 23, 1993, among Advanced NMR, AMS and American Stock
        Transfer & Trust Company.  The 4,000,000 shares of AMS Common Stock
        represented approximately 47.9% of the 8,346,740 outstanding shares
        of AMS Common Stock as of January 31, 1997, as reported in the AMS
        Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 1996. 

                  (b)  Subject to certain limitations provided in the
        Security Agreement, as  described below in Item 6, Advanced NMR (i)
        possesses the sole power to vote 4,000,000 shares of AMS Common Stock
        and (ii) does not share voting power with respect to any shares of
        AMS Common Stock.  Advanced NMR does not possess the power to dispose
        of the Pledged Shares without the prior written consent of USD nor
        does it possess the power to dispose of the Escrow Shares.

                  (c)  None, except the entry into the Security Agreement.

                  (d)  Pursuant to the Security Agreement, USD has the sole
        right to receive and hold as collateral any dividends declared on the
        Pledged Shares.

                  (e)  Not applicable


        ITEM 6.   CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERTAKINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
                  ----------------------------------------------------------
        RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
        -----------------------------------

                  Pursuant to the Security Agreement, which contains standard
        default provisions, at any time after an event of default, USD may
        vote or sell any or all of the Pledged Shares and give all consents,
        waivers and ratifications in respect thereof and otherwise act with
        respect thereto as though it were the outright owner thereof.

        ITEM 7.   MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS
                  --------------------------------

                  3.   Blocked Account, Pledge and Security Agreement, dated
                       as of February 27, 1997, between USD and Advanced NMR.
