Use this way of returning Stream (from WCF RAW programming)

[OperationContract, WebGet]
public Stream GetTestImage(Image image)
{
    MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
    image.Save(stream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
    stream.Position = 0;
    WebOperationContext.Current.OutgoingResponse.ContentType = "image/jpeg";
    return stream;
}
