ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
 
  The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, By-Laws and
indemnification agreements with officers and directors provide for
indemnification to the full extent permitted by the laws of the State of
Delaware against and with respect to threatened, pending or completed actions,
suits or proceedings arising from or alleged to arise from, a party's actions
or omissions as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or of
any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
which has served in such capacity at the request of the Company if such acts
or omissions occurred or were or are alleged to have occurred, while said
party was a director or officer of the Company; provided, however, the Company
shall not indemnify any director or officer in an action against the Company
unless the Company shall have consented to such action. Generally, under
Delaware law, indemnification will only be available where an officer or
director can establish that he/she acted in good faith and in a manner which
was reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company.
 
  Section 145 of the Delaware Law provides that a corporation may indemnify a
director, officer, employee or agent made a party to an action by reason of
the fact that such person was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation or was serving at the request of the corporation against expenses
actually incurred by such person in connection with such action if such person
acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in,
or not opposed to, the best interest of the corporation with respect to any
criminal action, and had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful. Delaware Law does not permit a corporation to eliminate a director's
duty of care, and the provisions of the Company's Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation have no effect on the availability of equitable
remedies such as injunction or rescission, based upon a director's breach of
the duty of care. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling
the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions and agreements, the Company
has been informed that in the opinion of the Staff of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
 
  Reference is made to the form of Underwriting Agreement filed as Exhibit 1
to this Registration Statement, which provides for indemnification of the
directors and officers of the Company signing the Registration Statement and
certain controlling persons of the Company against certain liabilities,
including those arising under the Securities Act, in certain instances by the
Underwriters.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
 
  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws,
or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
for indemnification against such liabilities (other than payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
  The Registrant hereby undertakes that:
 
    (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
  the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
  registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in the form
  of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or
  497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
  registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
    (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
  Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall
  be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
  offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
  deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

                We have acted as counsel to Alliance Imaging, Inc., a Delaware 
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation and filing with 
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") of the Registration 
Statement of the Company on Form S-2, as amended (File No. 333-33817) (as so 
amended, the "Registration Statement"), under the Securities Act of 1933, as 
amended (the "Act").

                This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the 
requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act.
    
                In connection with this opinion, we have examined originals, or
copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents,
corporate records and other instruments as we have deemed necessary for the
purposes of rendering the opinions set forth below including, without
limitation, (i) the Registration Statement, (ii) the form of Indenture (the
"Indenture") to be entered into among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors of
the Company party thereto (the "Guarantors") and IBJ Schroder Bank & Trust
Company, as trustee (the "Trustee"), governing the Company's Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2005 and the Senior Subordinated Floating Rate Notes due 2005
(collectively, the "Notes"), (iii) the form of Guarantee (the "Guarantee" and,
together with the Notes, the "Securities") to be executed and delivered by each
Guarantor, (iv) the form of Underwriting Agreement (the "Underwriting
Agreement") to be entered into among the Company, the Guarantors and BT Alex.
Brown Incorporated and Salomon Brothers Inc (collectively, the "Underwriters"),
(v) the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as
amended through the date hereof, (vi) the By-laws of the Company, as amended
through the date hereof and (vii) resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors
of the Company by unanimous written consent in lieu of meetings dated August 8,
1997 and October 10, 1997. As to certain questions of fact material to the
opinions contained herein, we have relied upon certificates or statements of
officers of the Company and certificates of public officials.    

                In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all
signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and
the conformity to authentic originals of all documents submitted to us as
certified or photostatic copies. In making our examination of documents executed
by parties other than the Company, we have assumed that such parties had the
power, corporate or other, to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder
and have also assumed the due

authorization by all requisite action, corporate or other, and execution and 
delivery by such parties of such documents and the validity and binding effect 
thereof.

                Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion as follows:
    
                1.  The Company and each Guarantor is a validly existing 
corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation.     
    
                2.  The Securities have been duly authorized and the Notes,
when issued and sold to the Underwriters and paid for by them in accordance with
the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, and the Guarantees, when executed and
delivered as contemplated by the Indenture, will be validly issued and, assuming
due authorization, execution and delivery of the Notes by the Trustee, will be
valid and binding obligations of the Company and the Guarantors, as the case may
be, enforceable against them in accordance with their terms, except that
enforcement thereof may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, involvency, fraudulent
conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws now or hereafter
in effect relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally and (ii) general
principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law).    
    
                Members of our firm are admitted to the Bar of the State of New
York and we express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction other
than the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Georgia Business Corporation Code
and the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law.     

                We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the 
Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.  We also consent to the 
reference to our firm under "Legal Matters" in the Registration Statement. In 
giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are included in the 
category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the 
rules and regulations of the Commission.

                                      Very truly yours,
