I tried converting the file, and it gave me this warning:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Running job #1
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Running 'DICOM Import'
Can't find "Image Plane" information for "/localhome/john/crap/00000000".
Warning: 1 files could not be converted from DICOM.

Done



This means that the DICOM file does not contain the information described in page 417 of http://dicom.nema.org/medical/dicom/current/output/pdf/part03.pdf .  The reason for this may be that it is not the sort of data that it makes sense to run SPM on (because the data is more like a regular X-ray than an X-ray CT).

Best regards,
-John

Dear John and Asim,
Thank you very much for your replies.
I am still unable to find anything in the output directory and dcm2nii has been unable to recognise the file.
I have attached the file in case I have been doing something incorrectly as I am new to SPM.
Thank you for your help,
Kind regards,
Hiba

As John mentioned check the output directory you specified. However if it did not work, you can try "dcm2nii" utility available in mricron.

Here is the web link:  http://www.mccauslandcenter.sc.edu/mricro/mricron/dcm2nii.html
