A method and system for processing a cardiac image dataset acquired from an imaging system is provided. The storage medium includes instructions for storing a plurality of link identifiers in a database, each link identifier associated with a content address identifier and instructions for receiving a current shortened content address with an appended link identifier from a requesting user. The on board internal peripheral component interconnect bus tester then captures the state of an internal PCI bus and transmits it though the external periphery pins of the chip for analysis to determine if the internal agent components are functioning correctly.
