## Instance Methods

Returns the instances Resource.

DeleteSeries deletes all instances within the given study and series using a long running operation. The method returns an Operation which will be marked successful when the deletion is complete. Warning: Instances cannot be inserted into a series that is being deleted by an operation until the operation completes. For samples that show how to call DeleteSeries, see [Deleting a study, series, or instance](https://cloud.google.com/healthcare/docs/how-tos/dicomweb#deleting_a_study_series_or_instance).

RetrieveSeriesMetadata returns instance associated with the given study and series, presented as metadata with the bulk data removed. See [RetrieveTransaction](http://dicom.nema.org/medical/dicom/current/output/html/part18.html#sect_10.4). For details on the implementation of RetrieveSeriesMetadata, see [Metadata resources](https://cloud.google.com/healthcare/docs/dicom#metadata_resources) in the Cloud Healthcare API conformance statement.

`delete(parent, dicomWebPath, x__xgafv=None)`

    DeleteSeries deletes all instances within the given study and series using a long running operation. The method returns an Operation which will be marked successful when the deletion is complete. Warning: Instances cannot be inserted into a series that is being deleted by an operation until the operation completes. For samples that show how to call DeleteSeries, see [Deleting a study, series, or instance](https://cloud.google.com/healthcare/docs/how-tos/dicomweb#deleting_a_study_series_or_instance).

    Args:
      parent: string, The name of the DICOM store that is being accessed. For example, `projects/{project_id}/locations/{location_id}/datasets/{dataset_id}/dicomStores/{dicom_store_id}`. (required)
      dicomWebPath: string, The path of the DeleteSeries request. For example, `studies/{study_uid}/series/{series_uid}`. (required)
      x__xgafv: string, V1 error format.
        Allowed values
          1 - v1 error format
          2 - v2 error format

    Returns:
      An object of the form:

        { # This resource represents a long-running operation that is the result of a network API call.
      "done": True or False, # If the value is `false`, it means the operation is still in progress. If `true`, the operation is completed, and either `error` or `response` is available.
      "error": { # The `Status` type defines a logical error model that is suitable for different programming environments, including REST APIs and RPC APIs. It is used by [gRPC](https://github.com/grpc). Each `Status` message contains three pieces of data: error code, error message, and error details. You can find out more about this error model and how to work with it in the [API Design Guide](https://cloud.google.com/apis/design/errors). # The error result of the operation in case of failure or cancellation.
        "code": 42, # The status code, which should be an enum value of google.rpc.Code.
        "details": [ # A list of messages that carry the error details. There is a common set of message types for APIs to use.

      },
      "metadata": { # Service-specific metadata associated with the operation. It typically contains progress information and common metadata such as create time. Some services might not provide such metadata. Any method that returns a long-running operation should document the metadata type, if any.

      },
      "name": "A String", # The server-assigned name, which is only unique within the same service that originally returns it. If you use the default HTTP mapping, the `name` should be a resource name ending with `operations/{unique_id}`.
      "response": { # The normal response of the operation in case of success. If the original method returns no data on success, such as `Delete`, the response is `google.protobuf.Empty`. If the original method is standard `Get`/`Create`/`Update`, the response should be the resource. For other methods, the response should have the type `XxxResponse`, where `Xxx` is the original method name. For example, if the original method name is `TakeSnapshot()`, the inferred response type is `TakeSnapshotResponse`.
        "a_key": "", # Properties of the object. Contains field @type with type URL.

This message can be used both in streaming and non-streaming API methods in the request as well as the response. It can be used as a top-level request field, which is convenient if one wants to extract parameters from either the URL or HTTP template into the request fields and also want access to the raw HTTP body.
