Patients were randomly divided into a training set (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009230) and a test set (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200999) in a 7:3 ratio. Preoperative clinical data and noncontrast CT images were collected, and radiomic features were extracted by outlining the stone\u2019s region of interest (ROI). Univariate analysis was used to identify clinical and conventional radiological features related to the success of single-session ESWL. Radiomic features were selected using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm to calculate a radiomic score (Rad-score). Five machine learning models (RF, KNN, LR, SVM, AdaBoost) were developed using 10-fold cross-validation. Model performance was assessed using AUC, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and F1 score. Calibration and decision curve analyses were used to evaluate model calibration and clinical value. SHAP analysis was conducted to interpret feature importance, and a nomogram was built to improve model interpretability.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Ureteral diameter proximal to the stone (UDPS), stone-to-skin distance (SSD), and renal pelvic width (RPW) were identified as significant predictors. Six radiomic features were selected from 1,595 to calculate the Rad-score. The LR model showed the best performance on the test set, with an accuracy of 83.8%, sensitivity of 84.9%, specificity of 82.6%, F1 score of 84.9%, and AUC of 0.888 (95% CI: 0.822\u20130.949). SHAP analysis indicated that the Rad-score and UDPS were the most influential features. Calibration and decision curve analyses confirmed the model\u2019s good calibration and clinical utility.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The LR model, integrating radiomics and conventional radiological features, demonstrated strong performance in predicting the success of single-session ESWL for ureteral stones.
