How about loading it from MemoryStream?
using(MemoryStream memory = new MemoryStream())
{
bitmap.Save(memory, ImageFormat.Png);
memory.Position = 0;
BitmapImage bitmapImage = new BitmapImage();
bitmapImage.BeginInit();
bitmapImage.StreamSource = memory;
bitmapImage.CacheOption = BitmapCacheOption.OnLoad;
bitmapImage.EndInit();
}
