Question : Can you see the stomach with a chest ct? When I had this done the doc said I had a large Hiatal Hernia. Adrenal glands normal. Did they see my stomach with this procedure?

CT scan

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your question on HCM

I do understand your concern

“As” per your question is concerned I may say that in Chest CT scan you can see stomach. As you have a [Hiatal hernia] which needs to be treated surgically if conservative method already tried.

Thanks
