A systematic review of the published literature was conducted specifically looking at studies reporting linear dimension and angular projection data on the anatomy of the cervical pedicle (C1-C7) via radiography or direct measurement. ⋯ The current study has found that there is no statistical difference in measuring the cervical pedicle via radiography (CT) or directly. There are more significant differences comparing the cervical pedicles of males and females in the European/American population than exists in the Asian population (specifically in pedicle width and height). There are also significant differences at C3 and C4 cervical pedicle between the Asian and European/American population (specifically in the pedicle axis length and transverse angle).
