Does CT Scan Help To Diagnose Hernia?

I suspect that I have a hernia! For several years I have had this small bulge protrude under my left diaphram with severe pain. This only happens about once a month, and with certain stretching and relaxing I am able to push it back within a few minutes, but 2 weeks ago it happened 2X in one day and it was harder to get it back in. I just had a ct Scan and it came back as normal. Wouldn t a hernia show up on a cat scan?
