Hi,

this is surely possible. A quick search showed me these threads:

They handle similar issues and show solutions. You may find more with forum search.

Basically import the image.
Draw a line of known length on the image.
Measure the drawn line length.
Use measured length and real world length to scale the image.

Put the image on a separate layer, that you can disable it, because there is an issue that you can't select entities which are on the image.
