We already have it. GNUmed detects which of

                viewer = u'Ginkgo CADx'
        elif os.access('/Applications/OsiriX.app/Contents/MacOS/OsiriX', 
os.X_OK):
                viewer = u'OsiriX'

        elif gmShellAPI.detect_external_binary(binary = 'amide')[0]:
                viewer = u'AMIDE'
        elif gmShellAPI.detect_external_binary(binary = 'dicomscope')[0]:
                viewer = u'DicomScope'

                viewer = u'(x)medcon'

is installed and links the "DICOM viewer" menu item to that.
The tooltip details which one was detected.

        self.menu_tools.Append(ID_DICOM_VIEWER, _('DICOM viewer'), _('Start 
DICOM viewer (%s) for CD-ROM (X-Ray, CT, MR, etc). On Windows just insert CD.') 
% viewer)

Binaries not in the PATH can't sanely be detected (Windoze
is broken, the sky is blue, what else is new).

Even knowing and hardcoding that won't help all that much
because Windoze localizes path names ...

Same problem ...
