No , ct scan does not detect gerd. Only in extreme cases , Haitus hernia can be made out. But best tool to detect GERD is upper GI ENDOSCOPY

I think that you should do endoscopy ( upper gi endoscopy ) is best diagnostic of choice .
Specificity and sensitivity of CT scan is less so don't detect clearly .

Please take consultation
