    This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D ("Amendment No. 4") amends the Schedule 13D filed on behalf of General Electric Company, a New York corporation ("GE" or the "Reporting Person"), with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 12, 1997 (the "Original Schedule 13D"), relating to the Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share ("Common Stock"), of InSight Health Services Corp., a Delaware corporation ("InSight" or the "Issuer"), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D ("Amendment No. 1"), filed by the Reporting Person on October 14, 1997, as further amended by Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D ("Amendment No. 2"), filed by the Reporting Person on July 5, 2001, and as further amended by Amendment No. 3 filed by the Reporting Person on October 9, 2001. This filing is for the purpose of reporting a change in ownership of the warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the "Warrants") and the shares of InSight Convertible Preferred Stock, Series D, par value $0.001 per share (the "Series D Preferred Stock"), described in Amendment No. 3.

    Except as disclosed in this Amendment No. 4, the information contained in the Original Schedule 13D, as amended by Amendment No. 1, as further amended by Amendment No. 2, and as further amended by Amendment No. 3 has not changed as of the date hereof. Items 4, 5, 6 and 7 are hereby amended and restated as follows:


Item 4—PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION:

    Effective as of October 17, 2001, GE converted all of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock owned by it into shares of InSight's Common Stock pursuant to a conversion notice delivered to InSight in accordance with the Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights of Convertible Preferred Stock, Series D, of InSight, on October 17, 2001.

    In accordance with the Merger Agreement among InSight, InSight Health Services Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), and JWCH Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Acquisition"), dated as of June 29, 2001 (the "Merger Agreement"), as described in Amendment No. 3 and Item 6 below, the merger (the "Merger") of Acquisition with and into InSight occurred on October 17, 2001. Pursuant to the Merger, all of the shares of Common Stock and all of the Warrants owned by GE were converted into the right to receive $18.00 per share (less, in the case of the Warrants, the exercise price thereof) and, after the Merger, GE received such consideration for such Common Stock and Warrants.

    GE may acquire Common Stock or rights that are convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock or take any other action with respect to InSight or any of its debt or equity securities in any manner permitted by law. GE has no current plans to acquire any Common Stock or which relate to or would result in any of the events described in Items (a) through (j) of the instructions to this Item 4 of Schedule 13D.


Item 5—INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

    On October 17, 2001, all of the shares of Common Stock and Warrants owned by GE were converted, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, into cash consideration equal to $18.00 per share (less, in the case of the Warrants, the exercise price thereof).

3



ITEM 6—CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

    Simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, GE entered into a Voting Agreement (the "Voting Agreement") with Parent and Acquisition, as described in Amendment No. 3. Under the terms of the Voting Agreement, (i) GE consented to the cancellation of the Warrants for consideration in accordance with the Merger, (ii) GE voted in favor of the Merger and the adoption of the Merger Agreement, and (iii) GE converted all of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock it owned into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger. A copy of the Voting Agreement is attached as Exhibit 2 to Amendment No. 2 and is incorporated herein by reference. The Voting Agreement terminated upon the consummation of the Merger.

    On October 17, 2001, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement the Merger occurred and each outstanding share of Common Stock of InSight, other than those shares owned by certain officers of InSight, was converted into the right to receive $18.00 per share in cash.


Item 7—MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS

Exhibit No.
  Description of Exhibit
1.   Voting Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2001, incorporated herein by reference to Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D to which this Amendment No. 4 relates, filed by the Reporting Persons on July 5, 2001.
