Just to clarify, a DICOM "Ping" is not like a regular ping. A regular ping uses ICMP to verify connectivity to the ip stack. A DICOM ping actually connects to the dicom TCP port as configured in the application (ex:Radworks) for a DICOM ping to work, both systems must be setup to see each other (their AE_titles, ip addresses, and TCP ports must already be configured). The TCP port can be valid TCP port. Common ports are 104 and 3140.
I believe just setting up a simple custom port to check for a connect on the DICOM port will do what you want.

The is a file transfer protocol established in the medical industry for transferring the scan images electronically from one location to another. I would like to monitor these devices to ensure it is listening to receive DICOM files. There are what is called DICOM ping programs out there (works like regular ping). How can I get one of these kind of programs to work with Whats up so that I can show that the Dicom receive service is down on a particular machine?
