with respect to such laws.

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

     The Stock Option Agreement described in Item 6 of this Statement was
entered into by GE and Imatron as an inducement to GE to enter into the Merger
Agreement described in Item 6. The exercise price for such option is $1.89 per
share, payable in cash. The maximum amount payable is $39,545,389 (based on the
total

                                       3


number of shares of Imatron Common Stock issued and outstanding on September 20,
2001). GE would pay this amount out of working capital.

     The Shareholder Agreements described in Item 6 of this Statement were
entered into between GE and each of Lewis Meyer, Douglas Boyd, Terry Ross and
Jose Maria Salema Garcao as an inducement to GE to enter into the Merger
Agreement described in Item 6. These Agreements contain an option for GE to
purchase between 7,189,566 and 10,641,556 shares of stock (see Item 6 below).
The exercise price for such options is $1.89 per share, payable in cash. The
maximum amount payable is $20,112,541. GE would pay this amount out of working
capital.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

     GE entered into the Stock Option Agreement and the Shareholder Agreements
in order to help ensure the closing of the Merger Agreement described in Item 6.
GE presently anticipates that it will acquire all of the outstanding Common
Stock of Imatron upon consummation of the Merger described in Item 6.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF ISSUER

     (a) - (c) By reason of the Stock Option Agreement, GE may be deemed to be
the beneficial owner (with sole power to vote and sole power to direct
disposition) of 20,923,486 shares of Imatron Common Stock (the "Stock Option
Shares") (based on the number of shares of Imatron Common Stock outstanding as
of the date of the Stock Option Agreement), which may be deemed to represent
beneficial ownership of approximately 17% of the Imatron Common Stock under Rule
13d-3(d). The Stock Option Shares would be shares newly issued by Imatron. If
Imatron issues additional shares of Common Stock, the number of Stock Option
Shares will be increased so that they would continue to represent prior to
issuance slightly less than 20% of the shares of Imatron Common Stock then
issued and outstanding.

     By reason of the Shareholder Agreements, GE may be deemed to be the
beneficial owner of up to 10,641,556 shares optioned under those agreements (the
"Shareholder Shares") and, together with the Subject Shareholders may be deemed
to have shared power to vote or direct the vote of the Shareholder Shares and
shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of the Shareholder Shares. In
the press release of GE and Imatron announcing the signing of the Merger
Agreement, Stock Option Agreement and Shareholder Agreements, filed pursuant to
Rule 425 of the Securities Act on September 24, 2001, it was reported that the
Subject Shareholders were "shareholders representing 11% of the Imatron shares
outstanding on a fully diluted basis." Although the Subject Shareholders
beneficially own 11% of the Imatron Common Stock, the actual amount of shares
beneficially owned by the Subject Shareholders that is also subject to the
Shareholder Agreements, calculated using Rule 13d-3(d), is approximately 10% of
the Imatron Common Stock, based upon the number of shares outstanding as of
September 20, 2001, and assuming acceleration and exercise of all stock options
and warrants held by the Subject Shareholders (including stock options and
warrants having an exercise price that is greater than $1.89 per share). See
Item 6.

     GE's total combined beneficial ownership of Imatron Common Stock as a
result of the Stock Option Agreement and the Shareholder Agreements may be
deemed to be approximately 24%.

     For purposes of computing and reporting beneficial ownership as a result of
the options granted under the Stock Option Agreement and the Shareholder
Agreements, GE has assumed that such options will become exercisable within 60
days of the date of this Schedule 13D (see Item 6). However, because the
circumstances under which GE could purchase such shares under these agreements
are beyond the control of GE, GE disclaims beneficial ownership of all such
shares.

     Except as described in this Schedule 13D, neither GE nor, to the best
knowledge of GE, any of the persons listed in Item 2 above beneficially owns any
shares of Imatron Common Stock. Except as described in

                                       4


this Schedule 13D, neither GE nor, to the best of its knowledge, any of the
persons listed in Item 2 above has effected any transactions in Imatron Common
Stock during the past 60 days.

     (d)  Not applicable.

     (e)  Not applicable.

ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES
OF THE ISSUER

     On September 21, 2001, GE, Ruby Merger Corp., a New Jersey corporation and
a wholly owned subsidiary of GE ("Sub") and Imatron entered into an Agreement
and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") providing for the merger of Sub with
and into Imatron (the "Merger"), with Imatron surviving the Merger and becoming
a wholly-owned subsidiary of GE. By virtue of the Merger, each outstanding share
of Imatron Common Stock (other than shares held by Imatron or its subsidiaries
or GE or any wholly-owned subsidiaries of GE) will be converted into the right
to receive that number of shares of common stock, par value $0.06 per share, of
GE (the "GE Common Stock") determined by dividing $1.89 by the Average GE Share
Price (as defined below).

     The "Average GE Share Price" is the average of the daily volume-weighted
sales prices per share of GE Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange Tape
for each of the ten consecutive trading days ending on the trading day which is
five calendar days prior to the closing date of the Merger. After the Merger,
the directors of Sub immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger will
become directors of Imatron. Following the consummation of the Merger, the
Imatron Common Stock will be delisted from the NASDAQ and the Imatron Common
Stock will be terminated from registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. A copy of the Merger Agreement is
included as Exhibit 99(a) hereto and the description of the Merger Agreement
contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit,
which is incorporated by reference.

     Immediately prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement, in order to
induce GE to enter into the Merger Agreement, GE and Imatron entered into the
Stock Option Agreement (the "Stock Option Agreement") in which Imatron granted
to GE an option (the "Option") to purchase up to a number of shares that,
immediately prior to issuance, would represent approximately 20% of the then
issued and outstanding shares of Imatron Common Stock at an exercise price of
$1.89 per share, payable in cash.

     The Option is immediately exercisable if one or more of the following
events occurs: (a) any person, corporation, partnership, limited liability
company or other entity or group (singularly or collectively hereinafter, a
"Person"), acquires or becomes the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the
outstanding shares of Imatron Common Stock, (b) any group is formed which
beneficially owns 20% or more of the outstanding shares of Imatron Common stock;
(c) any person shall have commenced a tender or exchange offer for 20% or more
of the then outstanding shares of Imatron Common Stock or publicly proposed any
bona fide merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all the
assets of Imatron, or other similar business combination involving Imatron; (d)
Imatron enters into, or announces that it proposes to enter into, an agreement,
including, without limitation, an agreement in principle, providing for a merger
or other business combination involving Imatron or a "significant subsidiary"
(as defined in rule 1.02(w) of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities
and Exchange Commission) of Imatron or the acquisition of a substantial interest
in, or a substantial portion of the assets, business or operations of, Imatron
or a significant subsidiary (other than the transactions contemplated by the
Merger Agreement); (e) any Person is granted any option or right, conditional or
otherwise, to acquire or otherwise become the beneficial owner of shares of
Imatron Common Stock which, together with all shares of Imatron Common Stock
beneficially owned by such Person, results or would result in such Person being
the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the outstanding shares of Imatron

                                       5


Common Stock; or (f) there is a public announcement with respect to a plan or
intention by a person, other than GE or its affiliates, to effect any of the
foregoing transactions.

     The Option terminates upon the earlier to occur of (i) the closing of the
transactions contemplated by the Merger and (ii) the termination of the Merger
Agreement in accordance with its terms; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Option will
not terminate until 12 months after a termination pursuant to clause (ii)
immediately above under circumstances specified in the Stock Option Agreement.

     A copy of the Stock Option Agreement entered into between GE and Imatron is
filed as Exhibit 99(b) hereto and the description contained herein is qualified
in its entirety by reference to such exhibit, which is incorporated herein by
reference.

     Immediately prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement, in order to
induce GE to enter into the Merger Agreement, Lewis Meyer, owner of 237,041
shares and options to purchase 1,560,000 shares, Douglas Boyd, owner of
1,942,042 shares, Terry Ross, owner of 5,372,105 shares and warrants to purchase
560,000 shares and Jose Maria Salema Garcao, owner of 1,250,000 shares and a
warrant to acquire 1,500,000 shares (collectively, the "Subject Shareholders"),
entered into Shareholder Agreements with GE (the "Shareholder Agreements")
governing their shares. The Shareholder Agreement between GE and Mr. Ross covers
only 70% of the shares held (or hereafter acquired pursuant to the exercise of
warrants) by Mr. Ross.

     The Shareholder Agreements provide, among other things, that so long as the
Shareholder Agreements are in effect, the Subject Shareholders will: (i) vote
(or cause to be voted or to act by consent) the Shareholder Shares in favor of
the Merger and all transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (ii) vote
(or cause to be voted or to act by consent) the Shareholder Shares against any
action or agreement which would impede, frustrate, prevent or nullify the
Merger, the Merger Agreement, or any transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement and (iii) grant to GE a proxy to vote the Shareholder Shares in favor
of the Merger. Additionally, except in limited circumstances, the Subject
Shareholders are prohibited from selling, transferring, assigning or pledging
the Shareholder Shares.

     The Shareholder Agreements also grant to GE an option (the "Shareholder
Option") to purchase the Shareholder Shares at an exercise price of $1.89 per
share, payable in cash. The Shareholder Option is immediately exercisable if one
or more of the following events occurs: (a) any person, corporation,
partnership, limited liability company or other entity or group (singularly or
collectively hereinafter, a "Person"), acquires or becomes the beneficial owner
of 20% or more of the outstanding shares of Imatron Common Stock, (b) any group
is formed which beneficially owns 20% or more of the outstanding shares of
Imatron Common stock; (c) any person shall have commenced a tender or exchange
offer for 20% or more of the then outstanding shares of Imatron Common Stock or
publicly proposed any bona fide merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or
substantially all the assets of Imatron, or other similar business combination
involving Imatron; (d) Imatron enters into, or announces that it proposes to
enter into, an agreement, including, without limitation, an agreement in
principle, providing for a merger or other business combination involving
Imatron or a "significant subsidiary" (as defined in rule 1.02(w) of Regulation
S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission) of Imatron or the
acquisition of a substantial interest in, or a substantial portion of the
assets, business or operations of, Imatron or a significant subsidiary (other
than the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement); (e) any Person is
granted any option or right, conditional or otherwise, to acquire or otherwise
become the beneficial owner of shares of Imatron Common Stock which, together
with all shares of Imatron Common Stock beneficially owned by such Person,
results or would result in such Person being the beneficial owner of 20% or more
of the outstanding shares of Imatron Common Stock; or (f) there is a public
announcement with respect to a plan or intention by any person, other than GE or
its affiliates, to effect any of the foregoing transactions.

                                       6


     The Subject Shareholders' obligations under the Shareholder Agreement
terminate on the earlier to occur of (i) 6 months after the termination of the
Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms (or, in the case of the agreement
with Mr. Ross, 60 days after the termination of the Merger Agreement in
accordance with its terms), or (ii) the effective time of the Merger PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the under certain circumstances specified in the Shareholder
Agreement the obligations terminate immediately upon a termination of the Merger
Agreement.

     The Shareholder Agreements affect 10,641,557 shares of Imatron Common
Stock, assuming full acceleration and exercise of all stock options and warrants
that are covered by the Shareholder Agreements (including stock options and
warrants having an exercise price that is greater than $1.89 per share).
However, the Shareholder Agreements do not require the Subject Shareholders to
exercise their stock options or warrants. If such options or warrants are not
exercised, the Shareholder Agreements would affect 7,189,556 of the shares that
are currently issued and outstanding and held by the Subject Shareholders.

     A copy of each of the Shareholder Agreements entered into between GE, and
the Subject Shareholders is filed as Exhibit 99(c) and Exhibit 99(d) hereto and
the description contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to
such exhibit, which is incorporated herein by reference.
