Yes, of course. And I've done this for people any number of times using Finale, which I've used since the original version, or Sibelius, which many active teachers as well as composers and arrangers own.

This process isn't entirely straightforward. It depends on the scan and the quality of the original how much editing you need to do to the converted score. With any luck, it only needs a few accidentals and some text notation (dynamics, tempos) that the music OCR just missed. Sometimes the OCR misses a lot more.

I've never used MuseScore for this, since I own Finale and am comfortable with it. How much and how accurately does it interpret dynamics, style markings and articulations?
