Add the following code to your init file:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun mg-LaTeX-includegraphics-read-file-basename ()
  (file-name-base
   (read-file-name
    "Image file: " nil nil nil nil
    (lambda (fname)
      (or (file-directory-p fname)
      (string-match (LaTeX-includegraphics-extensions) fname))))))

(setq LaTeX-includegraphics-read-file
      'mg-LaTeX-includegraphics-read-file-basename)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This is adapted from `LaTeX-includegraphics-read-file-relative', it
returns the basename of file, without path and extension (which is
fine for LaTeX).

Bye,
