Morphometry in general is the quantitative study of shapes, particularly in the life sciences. It is an umbrella term for a number of technological approaches used in morphology. Morphometry as a research field can be subdivided by method (e.g. computational morphometry) or subject of study (e.g. brain morphometry).
