The ventilation/perfusion lung scan has been in continuous use for approximately half a century, the same lifetime as Seminars in Nuclear Medicine. Remarkably, the founding Editors-in-Chief have continued to guide the journal over this entire period. In this Feschrift issue celebrating their enormous contribution, we review the history of the lung scan, its highs and lows, the transition from planar to SPECT/CT V/Q scans, and the future that is in store in this age of multimodality functional imaging. We concur with the published view of one of the retiring editors (LMF) that V/Q scintigraphy is indeed alive and well and has a definite future in clinical medicine.
