### Method Details

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

    DeleteSeries deletes all instances within the given study and series.
    Delete requests are equivalent to the GET requests specified in the
    Retrieve transaction.

    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:

        { # A generic empty message that you can re-use to avoid defining duplicated
          # empty messages in your APIs. A typical example is to use it as the request
          # or the response type of an API method. For instance:
          #
          #     service Foo {
          #       rpc Bar(google.protobuf.Empty) returns (google.protobuf.Empty);
          #     }
          #
          # The JSON representation for `Empty` is empty JSON object `{}`.
      }

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

    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).

    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 RetrieveSeriesMetadata DICOMweb request. For example,
    `studies/{study_uid}/series/{series_uid}/metadata`. (required)
      x__xgafv: string, V1 error format.
        Allowed values
          1 - v1 error format
          2 - v2 error format

    Returns:
      An object of the form:

        { # Message that represents an arbitrary HTTP body. It should only be used for
            # payload formats that can't be represented as JSON, such as raw binary or

            #
            #

            # 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.
