filed by the undersigned on March 10, 1995 (the "Schedule 13D").  This Amendment
No. 7 amends and corrects the Schedule 13D in its entirety to read as follows:

ITEM 1.           SECURITY AND ISSUER.

         This  statement  relates to shares (the  "Shares") of the common stock,
par value  $.01 per share  ("Common  Stock"),  of  Medical  Imaging  Centers  of
America,  Inc.  ("Issuer").  The principal  executive  offices of the Issuer are
located at 9444 Farnham Street, Suite 100, San Diego, California 92123.

ITEM 2.           IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

                  (a) This  Statement  is filed by Steel  Partners  II,  L.P., a
Delaware limited  partnership  ("Steel  Partners II"), Steel Partners  Services,
Ltd., a New York corporation  ("Services"),  Warren G. Lichtenstein and Lawrence
Butler.  The general partner of Steel Partners II is Steel Partners  Associates,
L.P. ("Associates"), a Delaware limited partnership. Steel Partners, Ltd., a New
York  corporation  ("SPL"),  is the  general  partner  of  Associates.  The sole
executive  officers,  directors and shareholders of SPL are Mr. Lichtenstein and
Mr. Butler,  each of whom is a United States citizen.  Messrs.  Lichtenstein and
Butler are the sole executive officers,  directors and shareholders of Services.
Each of the foregoing are referred to as a "Reporting  Person" and  collectively
as the "Reporting Persons".  By virtue of their positions with Steel Partners II
and Services, Mr. Lichtenstein and Mr. Butler have the power to vote and dispose
of the Issuer's Shares owned by Steel Partners II and Services. Accordingly, the
Reporting Persons are hereby filing a joint Schedule 13D.

                  (b) The principal business address of each Reporting Person is
750 Lexington Avenue, 27th Floor, New York, New York 10022.

                  (c) The principal  business of Steel  Partners II is investing
in the securities of microcap  companies.  The principal business of Services is
providing  management  and advisory  services.  The principal  occupation of Mr.
Lichtenstein and Mr. Butler is investing in securities of microcap companies. In
addition,  Mr.  Butler is the  president of Alpha  Technologies  Group,  Inc., a
NASDAQ company engaged in the electronics components business.

                  (d) No Reporting Person has, during the last five years,  been
convicted in a criminal  proceeding  (excluding  traffic  violations  or similar
misdemeanors).


<PAGE>



                  (e) No Reporting Person has, during the last five years,  been
party to a civil  proceeding of a judicial or  administrative  body of competent
jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment,
decree  or final  order  enjoining  future  violations  of,  or  prohibiting  or
mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any
violation with respect to such laws.

ITEM 3.           SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

                  The aggregate purchase price of the 1,637,819 Shares of Common
Stock owned by Steel Partners II is $1,671,599. The Shares of Common Stock owned
by Steel Partners II were acquired with partnership funds.

                  The aggregate  purchase  price of the 114,500 Shares of Common
Stock beneficially owned by Services is $171,639. Such Shares were acquired with
funds it manages for a foreign investment  company (the "Fund").  Pursuant to an
agreement  (the  "Management  Agreement")  with  the  Fund,  Services  has  been
appointed to manage,  on a  discretionary  basis,  certain of the Fund's assets,
which are  maintained in a brokerage  account in the Fund's name. The Management
Agreement may be terminated by either party at any time. Therefore,  pursuant to
Rule  13d-3(d)(1)(C),  the Fund may also be deemed the  beneficial  owner of the
Shares reported to be beneficially owned by Services.

ITEM 4.           PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

                  The Reporting Persons believe that the Shares of the Issuer at
current market prices present an attractive  investment  opportunity for capital
appreciation.

                  No  Reporting  Person has any present  plan or proposal  which
would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) -
(j) of Item 4 of Schedule  13D.  Each  intends to review its  investment  in the
Issuer on a  continuing  basis  and,  depending  on various  factors  including,
without limitation,  the Issuer's business affairs and financial  position,  the
price  levels of the Common  Stock,  conditions  in the  securities  markets and
general  economic and industry  conditions,  may in the future take such actions
with respect to its investment in the Issuer as it deems appropriate  including,
without limitation,  purchasing  additional Shares of Common Stock, selling some
or all of its Shares, or proposing a slate of nominees for election as directors
at the Issuer's annual meeting, a special meeting of stockholders or otherwise.

ITEM 5.           INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

                  (a)  The  aggregate  percentage  of  Shares  of  Common  Stock
