DirectoryInfo.GetFiles("image")

Not easily. DirectoryInfo goes against the file system, which doesn’t inherently contain MIME type information.
You could get all the files by extension using GetFiles() and the extension. You could also hit
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Typeregistry key to turn a list of MIME types into a list of extensions.
