    Only use the image name instead of the whole path in the Content-Disposition header:

    string fileName = Path.GetFileName(imagePath);
    response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition",
                       "attachment;filename=\""+ fileName + "\"");
    

    You have given the file name as the file and the server side path to it.
