wall thickening

The word "wandbetont" seems to be infrequently used in German but often in connection with Crohn’s disease. If you search the English literature, you can see “wall thickening” described under CT imaging results.

agree Lirka : wandbetont as opposed to "zart(wandig)" which is normal/physiological"

thick-walled

Diffuse thickening of the gallbladder wall can occur in a number of situations. I only found 1 reference to the German term "wandbetont", but I think wall thickening is what it actually means. Is there a doctor in the house who can confirm? ;-)
