Differentiation of benign and malignant gallbladder wall thickening (GBWT) at CT is challenging. Quantitative dual energy CT (DECT) features do not provide additional value in differentiating benign and malignant GBWT. DECT may be helpful in a subgroup of patients to differentiate xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis from gallbladder cancer.
