The MergeDPM, working in
conjunction with one of several off-the-shelf network analyzers, allows
the user to examine and analyze DICOM network communications on a standard
PC or laptop. The MergeDPM uses as input data captured by the chosen,
supported network analyzer. It parses the DICOM information and formats it
readably through the MergeDPM's user interface. This information can then
be used to determine the cause of problems within DICOM communications.
