Yes sir. Some basic info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMG_(file_format)
I think the WinImage tool (one of the most famous for Windows) also uses the IMA file extension, though I believe it's exactly the same as IMG, just renamed. However, they also use a IMZ file format which I believe is just a IMG zipped up.
Anyhoo, the IMG format is the most common supported by a lot of command line tools from the DOS and early Windows eras. And before flux imaging came along, it was the only modern way to capture PC disks. For example, you can get FreeDOS boot disks in IMG format.
