1. An intraluminal ultrasound imaging system, comprising:
a processor circuit configured for communication with an intraluminal ultrasound imaging catheter, wherein the processor circuit is configured to:
receive a plurality of intraluminal ultrasound images obtained by the intraluminal ultrasound imaging catheter while the intraluminal ultrasound imaging catheter is moved through a body lumen of a patient, wherein the plurality of intraluminal ultrasound images comprise axial cross-sectional views of the body lumen;
generate an image-based display of the body lumen using the plurality of intraluminal ultrasound images;
generate a stylized graphic of the body lumen based on the plurality of intraluminal ultrasound images, wherein the image-based display and the stylized graphic comprise alternative visual depictions of a same view of the body lumen, wherein the same view of the body lumen comprises a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the body lumen;
output, to a display in communication with the processor circuit, a screen display comprising:
an area for the longitudinal cross-sectional view of the body lumen; and
a mode selector configured to permit a user to change a type of display; and
receive an individual user input via the mode selector, wherein the area comprises only one of the image-based display or the stylized graphic in response to the individual user input,
wherein the mode selector is displayed proximate to the area in the screen display when the area comprises the image-based display and when the area comprises the stylized graphic such that:
the individual user input is configured to switch the area to the image-based display when the area comprises the stylized graphic; and
the individual user input is configured to switch the area to the stylized graphic when the area comprises the image-based display,
wherein the mode selector is specific to selecting between the image-based display and the stylized graphic such that the mode selector is configured only to switch the area between the alternative visual depictions of the same view of the body lumen.
