Well, but in the end that might be an issue of the script generating
this list of files since /usr/bin/dicomscope is included inside the
package (see second last line of your output below.

According to 

  https://askubuntu.com/questions/101746/how-can-i-execute-a-jar-file-from-the-terminal

this error message might be caused by a missing package binfmt-support.
Can you please make sure that this is installed.  I slightly remember
that binfmt-support needs an according linux kernel option.  Are you
using the packaged linux kernel or did you build your own?

As a workaround please also try

  java -jar /usr/share/java/DICOMscope.jar

As you can see

  $ readlink $(which dicomscope)
  ../share/java/DICOMscope.jar

the executable is just a symlink to the JAR and this is supposed to
work with binfmt-support.  However, if there are cases when this fails
it is probably not the best idea to do so and rather provide a wrapper
that calls java directly.

Kind regards

      Andreas.
