This seems to be a JPEG-File, so you should be able to send that data together with the appropriate mime-type to the browser. It should be possible to output that image with something like:

So you might do something like this:

$tempFile = tempnam(sys_get_temp_dir(), 'image');
file_put_contents($tempFile, $imageString);
$finfo = new finfo(FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE);
$mime  = explode(';', $finfo->file($tempFile));
echo '';
