Answer: CT scan It might be helpful to know the basis for the suggestion that you have received. A CT might show the presence of a hernia or diastasis (separation of the rectus muscles) but I don't think it would be helpful in answering your question. A second opinion might be more helpful, and less pricey. All the best.
