DICOM headers are routinely encoded with ISO_IR 100 which is equivalent to IS0 8859-1.

We currently expect all our DICOM headers to be encoded using ISO_IR 100. In this context DICOM string attributes returned by pydicom are 8-bit strings encoded with ISO_IR 100.

Parameters:

The 8-bit string to decode from ISO_IR 100.

Returns:

unicode

The decoded string.
