Be careful: I would advise you to be careful about insisting on an exam that your doctor may not think is indicated. A ct scan can be very expensive if insurance doesn't cover it, and you don't want unnecessary radiation exposure. Ct scans can be a powerful diagnostic tool, but should be used only when necessary.
