1. A computer-implemented method for determining a subject specific set of treatment parameters for acoustic wave stimulation comprising the steps of:
generating subject specific data, wherein the step of generating subject specific data comprises measuring a geometric property of a body portion;
determining a target field distribution in the body portion, wherein the step of determining a target field distribution comprises selection of an application;
further comprising a step of selecting a set of treatment parameters from at least two different sets of treatment parameters, wherein the step of selecting a set of treatment parameters is made prior to a step of applying any set of treatment parameters to the body portion;
wherein the step of selecting a set of treatment parameters comprises a comparison of a first expected field distribution related to a first set of treatment parameters with the target field distribution and a comparison of a second expected field distribution related to a second set of treatment parameters with the target field distribution.
