Sending Image from C# to Android via JSON

I have images stored in SQL server, and I want to send them to Android app via JSON with other data. What's the best way to do this? BTW my server side written in ASP Web API(C#).

In other way I want to make my image like this http://myserver/image.jpg so I can included in my JSON and download it in Android app.

I finally figure it out This is the code

   public HttpResponseMessage getImage(String name)
    {
        name = name + ".png";
        var result = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK);
        String filePath = HostingEnvironment.MapPath("~/images/"+name);
        FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Open);
        Image image = Image.FromStream(fileStream);
        MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
        image.Save(memoryStream, ImageFormat.Jpeg);
        result.Content = new ByteArrayContent(memoryStream.ToArray());
        result.Content.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("image/png");
        fileStream.Dispose();
        return result;
    }
