Hypothesis:Anti-\[18F\]FACBC PET-CT will adequately detect local and extraprostatic recurrence, and lead to better characterization of disease status in restaging patients. This is a study that will test a compound (chemical substance) that has a small amount of radioactivity attached to it. This substance has a natural tendency to go to prostate tissue. The substance is called \[18\]FACBC and it is given in the form of an injection into a vein. After the substance reaches the prostate, scans called PET or Positron Emission Tomography, are done. This is similar to having CAT scans or x-rays. Usually a compound called \[18\]FDG is used for PET scans but this substance is eliminated by the kidneys and cannot reach the prostate. This substance called \[18\]FACBC is not eliminated by the kidneys and may allow tumors in the prostate to be seen better. It is sometimes difficult to tell if a growth on the prostate is cancer with scans or x-rays that are usually done. Anti-\[18F\]FACBC PET-CT will be compared to ProstaScint (In-capromab pendetide) which is the conventional imaging for prostate cancer. Investigators will be blinded of the intervention. This study will look at how the \[18\]FACBC goes into the prostate tissue and determine its ability to detect recurrent prostate cancer.

Anti-3-\[18F\]FACBC is an investigational positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer being studies given intravenously prior to PET scan
ProstaScint (In-Capromab Pendetide) is used to image the extent of prostate cancer in standard practice. Capromab is a mouse monoclonal antibody which recognizes prostate specific membrane antigen from prostate cancer cells and normal prostate tissue. It is given intravenously prior to undergoing CT imaging.

Diagnostic Performance of Anti-[18F]FACBC PET-CT Imaging in Detection of Extra-prostatic Recurrence of Prostate Carcinoma
1. Sensitivity = How well FACBC PET is able to correctly detect when there is prostate cancer outside the prostate bed. \[total number of true positives / total number of study participants confirmed to have prostate cancer outside the prostate bed (True positives + False negatives)\] 2. Specificity = How well FACBC PET is able to correctly detect when there is no prostate cancer outside the prostate bed. \[ total number of true negatives / total number of study participants confirmed to not have prostate cancer outside the prostate bed (True negatives + False positives)\] 3. Accuracy = (True positives + true negatives)/all tests 4. Positive predictive value = probability that subjects with a positive screening test truly have prostate cancer outside the prostate bed 5. Negative predictive value = probability that subjects with a negative screening test truly don't have prostate cancer outside the prostate bed
