    This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D ("Amendment No. 3") 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 (the "SEC") 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. This Amendment No. 3 relates to the conversion by the Reporting Person of all of its shares of InSight Convertible Preferred Stock, Series C, par value $0.001 per share (the "Series C Preferred Stock") into shares of InSight Convertible Preferred Stock, Series D, par value $0.001 per share (the "Series D Preferred Stock"). Such conversion was required pursuant to the terms of the Voting Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2001, between the Reporting Person, InSight Health Services Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), and JWCH Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Acquisition"), which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2 to Amendment No. 2 and which is incorporated herein by reference. Certain capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 3 but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in Amendment No. 2. Except as disclosed in this Amendment No. 3, the information contained in the Original Schedule 13D, as amended by Amendment No. 1 and as further amended by Amendment No. 2, 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

    On September 24, 2001, upon delivery to InSight of the notices of conversion to Series D Preferred Stock (individually, a "Conversion Notice" and collectively, the "Conversion Notices") by the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock and the holders of InSight Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B, par value $0.001 per share (the "Series B Preferred Stock"), respectively, all of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock and all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock were automatically converted into shares of Series D Preferred Stock. In addition, upon such conversion, the board of Insight was automatically increased by six (the "Conversion Directors") pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights of Convertible Preferred Stock, Series D, of InSight (the "Series D Certificate of Designation," which is incorporated herein by reference to the Issuer's 10-K, filed with the SEC on October 14, 1997). The Series D Certificate of Designation provides that, immediately following delivery of the Conversion Notices, the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock shall have the right to elect all of such new directors. In its Conversion Notice, GE stated that the delivery of such Conversion Notice shall not be deemed to constitute an election by GE of any Conversion Directors. GE holds the Series D Preferred Stock for investment purposes in the ordinary course of business, and not with the purpose of changing control of InSight. However, GE (i) has reserved any rights it may have to elect any Conversion Directors in the future and (ii) has agreed to defer any such election or appointment until such time as the holders of 662/3% of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock agree to commence such election or appointment.

    GE may change its current intentions, acquire additional 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. Other than as set forth herein, GE has no current plans 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

    (a) GE is the beneficial owner of 203,044.8 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, representing approximately 32.1% of the outstanding Series D Preferred Stock. The 203,044.8 shares of Series D Preferred Stock are convertible into 2,030,448 shares of Common Stock, which number is subject to

3


adjustment under various circumstances. GE is also the beneficial owner of 270,000 shares of Common Stock, through its ownership of the Warrants. Such 2,300,448 shares of Common Stock would represent approximately 43.3% of the total number of shares of Common Stock of InSight that, as a result of the issuance of the foregoing shares, would be outstanding, based on 3,011,656 shares of Common Stock represented by InSight as outstanding as of June 29, 2001.

    (b) GE has shared voting and investment power with respect to the securities that are the subject of this Amendment No. 3, which power is shared pursuant to the Voting Agreement discussed in Item 6 below.

    (c) Effective September 24, 2001, as required by the Voting Agreement, GE converted all of the 17,005 shares of Series C Preferred Stock that it owned into 203,044.8 shares of Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights of Convertible Preferred Stock, Series C, of InSight (the "Series C Certificate of Designation"), which is incorporated herein by reference to the Issuer's 10-K, filed with the SEC on October 14, 1997.

    (d) No other person is known to GE to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities that are the subject of this Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D.

    (e) Not applicable.

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

    On July 29, 2001, InSight, Parent and Acquisition entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), which provides, among other things and as stated in the Merger Agreement, for the merger (the "Merger") of Acquisition with and into InSight, with InSight continuing as the surviving corporation, and that each outstanding share of Common Stock of InSight, other than those shares owned by certain officers of InSight, will be converted into the right to receive $18.00 per share in cash.

    Simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, GE entered into a Voting Agreement with Parent and Acquisition. A copy of the Voting Agreement is attached as Exhibit 2 to Amendment No. 2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

    Under the terms of the Voting Agreement, (i) GE, on September 24, 2001, converted all of the Series C Preferred Stock that it owned into 203,044.8 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, (ii) GE agreed to consent to the cancellation of the Warrants for consideration in accordance with the Merger, (iii) GE agreed to vote in favor of the Merger and the adoption of the Merger Agreement, and (iv) GE agreed to convert all of the aforementioned 203,044.8 shares of Series D Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger.

    GE has also agreed to grant an irrevocable proxy to Parent and to appoint Parent as its attorney-in-fact to vote its Series D Preferred Stock in favor of the Merger and the adoption of the Merger Agreement. In addition, GE agreed not to (i) sell, transfer, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of the equity securities of InSight owned by it, (ii) enter into any voting arrangement or understanding other than the Voting Agreement, or (iii) take any action that could make any of its representations or warranties in the Voting Agreement untrue or incorrect or could have the effect of preventing or disabling GE from performing any of its obligations. Moreover, GE agreed not to (i) solicit, initiate or encourage or take any other action to facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes, or may be reasonably expected to lead to any Takeover Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement), or (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any Takeover Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement). The Voting Agreement terminates upon the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Merger and (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement.

    The foregoing summary of the Voting Agreement is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Voting Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2 to Amendment No. 2 and which is incorporated herein by reference.
