Diagnostic accuracy of imaging modalities in differentiating xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis from gallbladder cancer

Abstract

The Abdominal US is not sufficiently accurate to confidently guide clinical practice, and CEUS showed better diagnostic performance than the other imaging modalities in differentiating XGC from GBC. The combination of abdominal CEUS and CT is helpful for differential diagnosis, as it indicates GBC with better specificity and PPV.
