As far as I know, you (as a person writing server code) have no control over this. The best you can hope for is that the browser is smart enough to cache the image.
One thing I can think of, though, is to make sure that the browser "believes" that the images are static. Make sure that references to them do not have parameters (for generated images, epecially). E.g. <img src="/myapp/images/image1234.gif"> [GOOD] as opposed to <img src="/myapp/imageGenerator?imagenum=1234"> [BAD]. I just hypothesizing, though. You could set up a an accelerator between your web server and the outside world, as well. That still won't force browsers to cache images. But, if your images are (infrequently) generated, then an accelerator will cache them and prevent your application/image server from having to generate them constantly for every web hit.

For example to Save a picture and reload it from the browsers cache, when nothing has changed. or A Page which contains contents from a Database and when nothing has changed on the DB reload the old page from the cache.
