Median Response Time
Missed Reactions
Three hours each way for a scan you could do locally.
A patient in Winner or Eagle Butte who cannot get a contrast study at the local facility is looking at a six-hour round trip. West River counties and reservation communities face travel distances and physician shortages that make local imaging capacity consequential in a way it simply is not elsewhere. Tether supplies credentialed South Dakota-licensed physicians across every operating hour so those studies happen where the patient lives.
What changes when coverage is never the question
Stop rescheduling contrast patients
Grow volume without growing payroll
Technologists who walk in ready
Audit-ready without the paperwork
Live in weeks, not quarters
From first call to first supervised scan
Step one — the twenty-minute call
We scope your sites, modalities, operating hours, and current coverage. You get a straight answer on what your program looks like and what it costs, usually before we hang up.
Step two — we prepare your center
Hardware deployment, physician credentialing and state licensure, technologist training, reaction kit placement, and your supervision documentation. Setup is our job, not yours.
Step three — one button, seconds to a physician
Your technologist presses once and reaches a credentialed physician. Sessions document themselves. You get monthly QA summaries and a partner watching your state's rules.

Where South Dakota stands
South Dakota requires diagnostic radiation exposure upon the direction of a licensed practitioner and imposes no physical presence requirement. State regulation directs each facility to maintain a policy manual governing its radiological services.
