I've had two CT scans, one in the hospital after surgery (looking for what we suspected was an abcess) and one a couple months later (looking for the cause of some bad pain). The CT scan is easier to tolerate than the barium, unless you're badly claustrophobic. Just keep in mind, if they don't warn you, when they first start it you may get a real weird RUSH that makes you feel all hot and electric and like you have to go pee (but you don't). If you're expecting it, it's not so bad, but if you didn't expect it it might be kinda scary.

And yes, CT scan can show the doc stuff that might not turn up on other tests.
