MUSC radiology chair Munden to step down; Lewis named successor
Reginald Munden, MD, DMD, will step down as chair of the Department of Radiology at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston at the end of December 2026, according to Becker's Hospital Review. Madelene Lewis, MD, will succeed him effective Jan. 1, 2027.
Munden has led the MUSC radiology department for about five and a half years. Before joining MUSC, he spent 13 years chairing radiology departments at the University of Alabama-Birmingham, Houston Methodist Hospital and Research Institute, and Wake Forest School of Medicine, per the report.
His clinical and research work has centered on lung cancer screening, staging and treatment response. He has served as principal, co-principal or senior investigator on multiple funded studies and trials, and currently serves as vice president of the American Roentgen Ray Society and on the American College of Radiology's Board of Chancellors.
Lewis, a breast imaging specialist within MUSC's radiology department, takes over a core clinical and academic department that the report says continues to focus on oncologic imaging and physician-led research.
