I have all parts of my thesis (introduction/body/results ) etc. in the table of contents. Right before the introduction I have an image (on a separate page) which currently has no title. I have been asked to give it a title/heading such that it gets included in the table of contents. I dont want to make it a chapter. How can I include it in the table of contents?

You can use
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\protect\numberline{}Some chapter}
just after your \chapter*{Some chapter}. For an automated approach, define your own \chapter command (say) \mychapter:
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{xparse}% http://ctan.org/pkg/xparse
\NewDocumentCommand{\mychapter}{s o m}{%
\IfNoValueTF{#2}%
{\global\edef\chapToCname{#3}}
{\global\edef\chapToCname{#2}}%
\IfBooleanTF{#1}
{% \mychapter*
\chapter*[\chapToCname]{#3}%
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\protect\numberline{}\chapToCname}
}{% \mychapter
\chapter [\chapToCname]{#3}%
}%
}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\mychapter{A chapter}
\mychapter*{Some chapter}
\end{document}
The macro interface is provided by xparse.
With titlesec package:
\documentclass[oneside]{book}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage{lipsum} % only for the example
\titleformat{\chapter}
{\normalfont\Huge\bfseries}
{}
{0pt}
{}
\titlespacing*{\chapter}{0pt}{*11.5}{*8}
\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{\markright{\MakeUppercase{#1}}}
\usepackage[colorlinks]{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\chapter{First}
\lipsum[1]
\section{test}
\lipsum[1-5]
\chapter{Second}
\end{document}
