You should be using t.image.getcontent().....
declare
src BLOB;
BEGIN
Select t.image.getcontent() into src from imgtable t where t.id = 1;
END;
Or better yet (since you can access metadata, like mimetype this way):
declare
img ordsys.ordimage;
src BLOB;
begin
select t.image into img from imgtable t where t.id = 1;
src := img.getContent();
end;
