How to apply images to your content
Accessibility:
The use of images can be very useful to make your site look attractive, but since the introduction of WCAG (AA) your image should only be used to enhance your content, not replace it.
This is especially important when the image contains more than just a few words or Complex Text which would need formatting for accessibility purposes. Nor will the words be used as part of search results or translated into another language, so you are providing no help to the patient with regard to getting your message to them.
In addition, an image should not be used as a button nor contain a clickable link for the same reasons. You can use images this way when using the Grids Module
