Richard W. Katzberg, M.D.

Clinical/Research Interests

Dr. Katzberg is an expert in genitourinary radiology, contrast media, and the pathophysiology of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain and dysfunction. He is an expert in the utilization, development and nephrotoxicity of radiographic contrast media. His research interests are in contrast-induced nephrotoxicity, MRI and CT and nuclear medicine renal functional imaging, and delayed dermatotoxic reactions to iodinated contrast media.
