         This constitutes  Amendment No. 16 ("Amendment No. 16") to Schedule 13D
filed by the  undersigned  on March 18,  1995 (the  "Schedule  13D").  Except as
specifically  amended by this  Amendment  No. 16, the Schedule  13D, as amended,
remains in full force and effect.  Defined  terms  herein shall have the meaning
specified in the Schedule 13D, except as otherwise provided herein.


                  Item 4 is amended to add the following paragraphs:

Item 4.           Purpose of Transaction.

                  On November  18, 1996,  pursuant to an  Agreement  and Plan of
Merger (the "Merger  Agreement") dated August 1, 1996, among US Diagnostic Labs,
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("USDL"), MICA Acquiring Corporation,  a California
corporation and a direct wholly owned  subsidiary of USDL ("Merger Sub") and the
Issuer,  Merger Sub was merged  with and into the Issuer  (the  "Merger"),  with
Merger Sub being the  surviving  corporation.  In the Merger,  each  outstanding
share of Common Stock of the Issuer  (other than shares as to which  dissenter's
rights are  perfected) was converted into the right to receive a cash payment of
$11.75 (the "Merger  Consideration"),  and each outstanding  share of Merger Sub
common stock was converted  into one share of the Issuer's  Common  Stock.  As a
result of the Merger,  the Issuer became a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of USDL and
the  Issuer's  shareholders  will  receive  the  Merger  Consideration,  without
interest, in exchange for their shares.

                  Item 5 is amended to add the following paragraph:

Item 5.           Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

                  As of November  18, 1996,  as a result of the Merger,  none of
Steel Partners II, L.P., Steel Partners Services,  Ltd., Warren  Lichtenstein or
Lawrence  Butler was the  beneficial  owner of any shares of the Common Stock of
the  Issuer,   each  outstanding  share  of  the  Common  Stock  of  the  Issuer
beneficially owned by each Reporting Person having been converted into the right
to receive a cash payment of $11.75.
