For a quick hack, you can use a regular expression like the following:

Dim input As String = "test<img>" ' your data here
Dim imgRegex As New Regex("<img[^>]*>", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)
Dim output As String = imgRegex.Replace(input, "")

For more general HTML parsing, you should use the HTML Agility Pack.
