A medical imaging system for ultrasound imaging a heart of a patient, the medical imaging system comprising: a transesophageal probe operable to be positioned in an esophagus of the patient adjacent the heart, wherein the transesophageal probe includes an ultrasound transducer operable to scan the heart, and wherein the transesophageal probe further includes at least one atrial electrode, each atrial electrode being operable to generate an atrial electrocardiogram signal predominately indicative of electrical activity by atrium chambers of the heart; at least one ventricular electrode operable to be attached to a surface thoracic region of the patient, each ventricular electrode is further operable to generate a ventricular electrocardiogram signal predominately indicative of electrical activity by ventricle chambers of the heart; an electrocardiogram machine operable to generate an electrocardiogram waveform of the heart responsive to a generation of the at least one atrial electrocardiogram signal by the at least one atrial electrode and responsive to a generation of the at least one ventricular electrocardiogram signal by the at least one ventricular electrode, wherein the electrocardiogram machine is further operable to generate a cardiac gating signal indicative of a cyclical cardiac phase period of the electrocardiogram waveform; and an ultrasound machine to reconstruct at least one ultrasound image of the heart encompassing at least a portion of the cyclical cardiac phase period of the electrocardiogram responsive to an ultrasound scanning of the heart by the ultrasound transducer and responsive to a generation of the cardiac gating signal by the electrocardiogram machine. a transesophageal probe operable to be positioned in an esophagus of the patient adjacent the heart, wherein the transesophageal probe includes an ultrasound transducer operable to scan the heart, and wherein the transesophageal probe further includes at least one atrial electrode, each atrial electrode being operable to generate an atrial electrocardiogram signal predominately indicative of electrical activity by atrium chambers of the heart; wherein the transesophageal probe includes an ultrasound transducer operable to scan the heart, and wherein the transesophageal probe further includes at least one atrial electrode, each atrial electrode being operable to generate an atrial electrocardiogram signal predominately indicative of electrical activity by atrium chambers of the heart; at least one ventricular electrode operable to be attached to a surface thoracic region of the patient, each ventricular electrode is further operable to generate a ventricular electrocardiogram signal predominately indicative of electrical activity by ventricle chambers of the heart; an electrocardiogram machine operable to generate an electrocardiogram waveform of the heart responsive to a generation of the at least one atrial electrocardiogram signal by the at least one atrial electrode and responsive to a generation of the at least one ventricular electrocardiogram signal by the at least one ventricular electrode, wherein the electrocardiogram machine is further operable to generate a cardiac gating signal indicative of a cyclical cardiac phase period of the electrocardiogram waveform; and an ultrasound machine to reconstruct at least one ultrasound image of the heart encompassing at least a portion of the cyclical cardiac phase period of the electrocardiogram responsive to an ultrasound scanning of the heart by the ultrasound transducer and responsive to a generation of the cardiac gating signal by the electrocardiogram machine.
