DD had CT scan. will it show Chiair?

I brought my daughter in today for a scheduled CT scan.  Before she went in I stressed to the tech that I wanted it noted for them to check for CM .  Can they detect this through a CT scan.  Mine was found through a MRI?  Just wondered.  It was flustrating to me when talking to the tech and asking him to state this in her record's.  He looked at me like I was crazy.  It didn't bother me because I'm used to that. LOL.... My daughter is 33 now and she seem's to have all the signs of CM.  Just need to know if this can be found through CT.  Thanks everyone.

Thanks so much every one.  I pray she doesn't have this either, but at least she doesn't need to go 3 yrs to find the answer's.  I stressed to the tech before they took her in for the test to look for this.  Us with Chiairi now all about the Chairi run around. Having gone through it myself.  I'll try my hardest that she doesn't have to endure it.  She watched me go through all the pain, and now I see it in her eye's.  It's said,  we will find out and I'll let you know.  Thanks again for the prayer's.  We all know to well.
