I generally don't review the PDF output of LaTeX. Instead, I use the 
lwarp package to produce an HTML version of the document, and that's 
what I review with a screen reader.

I have a makefile that uses lwarpmk to generate both PDF and HTML files 
from the LaTeX source.

Note that you could just as easily use TeX4HT or another LaTeX to HTML 
conversion tool to achieve similar results.

Can you prepare a better image file? If the image is generated by 
software, try exporting as PDF directly, if supported. SVG is also a 
good format that you can convert to a PDF image. A vector image should 
give you better visual results. If you can't generate a vector-based 
format, then PNG is probably fine - but I'm not an expert on graphics 
formats.

If you have to, you can scale the image when including it in your LaTeX 
document (e.g., with the width=\textwidth option).

For one of my recent documents, I used Graphviz to create the diagrams 
directly as PDF files. I had to scale the images to fit the page width, 
but according to a colleague, the results were visually satisfactory.
