We present a method to determine elasto--mechanical properties of soft biological tissues, and a device able to perform the required measurements in-vivo. The device permits the controlled application of vacuum to small spots of organic tissue and registers the small deformation caused, during the whole measurement process. Deformation is measured with a vision based technique and the grabbed images are processed in real-time to avoid storage problems. We model biological tissue with a hyperelastic quasilinear viscoelastic material law and determine the unknown material parameters via inverse finite element methods.
