CT scan without contrast
I recently saw Kaisers Jacklyn Parker ,thankyou Dr Towfigh.
Although she couldnt feel a Spigelian hernia she said the best she could do was order a CT scan without contrast( I cant have contrast because of Graves disease).
I asked for an ultrasound with valsalva because everything falls back in place when I lay down. She said she was unable to order that test with Kaiser even though she has asked for it several times.
Anyway what are the odds a hernia will show on CT scan no contrast?
Anything I can do while having the CT scan that will improve my odds of hernia showing?
Thanks!

Make sure the CT scan is done ” with valsalva.”
It means you bear down. That may show a small hernia better.A CT scan should be able to show most Spigelian Hernias.
Good luck!
