1. An intraluminal medical imaging system, comprising:
a controller in communication with an intraluminal imaging device configured to be positioned within a body lumen of a patient, the controller configured to:
receive imaging data from the intraluminal imaging device as the intraluminal imaging device is moved through the body lumen;
generate a plurality of image frames using the received imaging data;
automatically identify a lumen border in each of the plurality of image frames; and
generate a longitudinal outline of the body lumen based on the identified lumen border in the plurality of image frames; and
a display device in communication with the controller and configured to display, on a single screen:
the longitudinal outline of the body lumen; and
a first image frame of the plurality of image frames,
wherein the first image frame comprises an outline of the lumen border in the first image frame,
wherein the first image frame corresponds to a first location along the longitudinal outline,
wherein a position of the first image frame within the single screen is representative of the first location such that the outline of the lumen border in the first image frame is a portion of the longitudinal outline at the corresponding first location, and
wherein the first image frame and the longitudinal outline form a hybrid two-dimensional/three-dimensional representation in which the longitudinal outline extends from the first image frame.
