Is this header you're refering to the header of the page which contains the
image, or the image itself?

You can try:
header('Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate,
Post-Check=0, Pre-Check=0');

That's HTTP/1.1 only, but this is what I got from PHP site:
<?php
header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); // HTTP/1.1
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); // Date in the past
?>
