Answer:

Yes. MRI

Step-by-step explanation:

It is possible and it is regularly done. The procedure is called magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI for short, and it allows us to quantify the volume of the brain. It is done in clinical tests to see if someone is sick or has an injury and it is also used in experiments when we are researching cognitive ability.
