Gainesville Thermography, LLC
For Physicians
Many physicians may not be familiar with DITI
(Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging) or Thermography. The
information on the Thermography website for the general
public is intended to provide a concise picture of what
DITI can and cannot do. This section provides a more
detailed picture of the different applications for
thermography and includes references. There has been a
high level of refinement in DITI since the early 1990's
due to advances in sensitivity, reliability, and the
huge technological advances that have taken place in
computing, solid state miniaturization, and
declassification of military electronic super cooling
and infrared technology. Today's DITI scanners have a
super-cooled thermally stable receiver units capable of
reading accurate to 100th of a degree. The material and

Peter Leando, Ph.D. is the developer of the Meditherm
2000 DITI unit we use at Gainesville Thermography, LLC
We feel it is the best medical thermal imaging unit
currently available. Dr. Leando previously trained
physicians and staff at Duke University Medical Center
in the use of the Meditherm 2000 unit in their pain
clinic. The Gainesville Thermography staff and I had the
privilege of training under Dr. Leando when he was
living in Lakeland, Florida.
