Disclosed is an intraluminal ultrasound imaging system, including a processor circuit in communication with an intraluminal ultrasound imaging catheter, and configured to receive a plurality of intraluminal ultrasound images from the imaging catheter during movement of the imaging catheter within a body lumen of a patient, the body lumen comprising a plurality of segments. The processor circuit is further configured to generate a marker to be applied to an intraluminal ultrasound image of the plurality of intraluminal ultrasound images, wherein the marker is generated based on the movement of the intraluminal ultrasound imaging catheter, and wherein the marker is representative of a segment of the plurality of segments, and output to a display the marker and the plurality of intraluminal ultrasound images shown successively.

Disclosed is an intraluminal ultrasound imaging system, including a processor circuit in 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 during movement of the intraluminal ultrasound imaging catheter within a body lumen of a patient. The processor circuit is further configured to select an image from among the plurality of intraluminal ultrasound images, generate at least two border contours associated with the lumen within the selected image, display the border contours associated with the lumen, each overlaid on a separate instance of the selected image, receive a user input selecting one of the border contours; and display the selected image overlaid with the selected border contour.
