A method and apparatus that applies a predetermined force function to the surface of a test subject with a probe and measures the displacement of the probe as a function of applied force facilitates measurement of tissue properties accurately and quickly, in vivo, in a non-invasive manner. A haptic device may be used to apply the force function to the test subject according to a preprogrammed force function and to measure the resulting tissue displacement.
