| Spinal [[Computed tomography|CT scan]] may be helpful in the diagnosis of tabes dorsalis. Findings on [[CT scan]] suggestive of of [[neurosyphilis]] include [[calcification]] in the soft tissues(posterior to the cord in [[cervical spine]] [[CT scan]]), [[ankylosis]] across the C4–5 disc and facet joints bilateral, areas of decreased density suggesting cerebral infarction, syphilitic [[gumma]] appear hypodense with precontrast, focal or diffuse extra-axial enhancement and non-specific white matter lesions.
