best pack the img in a box and then put some qQ around it with the clip 
at the end (the usual experimenting with origin), so basically something 
compatible to

\pdfliteral {q clip spec}
\pdfximage{...}
\pdfliteral {Q}

ending up in something

q 0 w 0 0 m 29.99991  0 l 29.99991 39.9999 l 0 39.9999 l W n

this is a clip path: x,y=10bp,20bp w,h=30bp,40bp

(using text XX instead of image)
