As the error message says, you are using non-ascii characters (the “ and ”)
in your code.

But even if you were to read the linked document and would add the line
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*
at the beginning of your script you would run into the next SyntaxError.
You are trying to quote a string literal with
“...”
but Python only understands
"..."
or
'...'
Change the os.system() call to
os.system("dcm2jpg.exe IM-0004-0004.dcm")
and your script should work.
An unrelated issue:
> exit
to call a function the () is required -- to end the script at an arbitrary
point use
exit()
However, as execution also ends automatically when the last line of the
script is reached it is better to remove the
> exit
line completely.
