{"entity":{"id":"matthias-eiber","kind":"person","name":"Matthias Eiber","aka":[],"tldr":"A German nuclear medicine physician whose 2015 study of gallium-68 PSMA PET scanning for prostate cancer became one of the most-cited papers in the field, and who now leads theranostics research in Munich.","summary":"Matthias Eiber led the seminal 2015 Journal of Nuclear Medicine study evaluating hybrid 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT in 248 patients with biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy, a paper that is credited with driving global adoption of PSMA PET imaging. Working within Markus Schwaiger's department at TUM's Klinikum rechts der Isar, he subsequently helped develop and validate PSMA-I&T and compared 68Ga-PSMA-11 against 18F-PSMA-1007.\n\nHe leads the Theranostics Section at his department (since 2020) and is a co-author of the PROMISE miTNM framework for standardised PSMA-PET reporting and of RECIP 1.0, a framework for assessing radiographic response to PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy. He continues to publish extensively on PSMA PET-guided radioligand therapy dosimetry and outcome prediction, including work linked to the PSMAddition trial.","asOf":"2026-09-22","links":[{"label":"TUM CV page","url":"https://nuklearmedizin.mri.tum.de/de/lebenslauf-prof-dr-med-matthias-eiber"},{"label":"68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT biochemical recurrence study, JNM 2015","url":"https://jnm.snmjournals.org/content/56/5/668"}],"tags":["PSMA","PET","clinician"],"related":["ga68-psma-11","psma-pet","tum-munich","psmaddition","f-18","ga-68"],"indications":[],"sections":[],"technologies":[],"targets":[],"drugs":[],"companies":[],"institutions":[],"pathways":[],"terms":[],"trials":[],"people":[],"bottlenecks":[],"keyPapers":[],"journals":[],"dependsOn":[],"notes":[],"role":"Professor and Head of the Theranostics Section, Department of Nuclear Medicine, Klinikum rechts der Isar, Technical University of Munich","institutionId":"tum-munich","specialisms":["PSMA PET","PSMA radioligand therapy","prostate cancer imaging biomarkers"],"profiles":[{"label":"TUM Klinik für Nuklearmedizin CV (German)","url":"https://nuklearmedizin.mri.tum.de/de/lebenslauf-prof-dr-med-matthias-eiber"},{"label":"TUM research portal (FIS)","url":"https://portal.fis.tum.de/en/persons/matthias-eiber/"}],"papers":[{"title":"Evaluation of Hybrid 68Ga-PSMA Ligand PET/CT in 248 Patients with Biochemical Recurrence After Radical Prostatectomy","journal":"Journal of Nuclear Medicine","year":2015,"doi":"10.2967/jnumed.115.154153"},{"title":"Matched-Pair Comparison of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT and 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT: Frequency of Pitfalls and Detection Efficacy in Biochemical Recurrence After Radical Prostatectomy","journal":"Journal of Nuclear Medicine","year":2020,"doi":"10.2967/jnumed.119.229187"},{"title":"Prostate Cancer Molecular Imaging Standardized Evaluation (PROMISE): Proposed miTNM Classification for the Interpretation of PSMA-Ligand PET/CT","journal":"Journal of Nuclear Medicine","year":2018,"doi":"10.2967/jnumed.117.198119"},{"title":"[177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 in patients with PSMA-positive metastatic androgen pathway modulator-naive/sensitive prostate cancer (PSMAddition): a phase 3 randomised, controlled trial","journal":"The Lancet","year":2026,"url":"https://portal.fis.tum.de/en/organisations/department-of-nuclear-medicine/"}]},"route":"/people/matthias-eiber/","neighbours":{"drug":[{"id":"ga68-psma-11","kind":"drug","name":"Gallium-68 gozetotide (PSMA-11)","route":"/drugs/ga68-psma-11/"}],"technology":[{"id":"psma-pet","kind":"technology","name":"PSMA PET","route":"/technologies/psma-pet/"}],"institution":[{"id":"tum-munich","kind":"institution","name":"TUM Klinikum rechts der Isar / CCC München","route":"/institutions/tum-munich/"}],"trial":[{"id":"psmaddition","kind":"trial","name":"PSMAddition","route":"/trials/psmaddition/"}],"isotope":[{"id":"f-18","kind":"isotope","name":"Fluorine-18","route":"/isotopes/f-18/"},{"id":"ga-68","kind":"isotope","name":"Gallium-68","route":"/isotopes/ga-68/"}],"person":[{"id":"wolfgang-fendler","kind":"person","name":"Wolfgang P.
