    The Problem is solved for me.

     

    While Getting Data from Sql Server instead of Clicking "Load", I selected "Edit" option. A new Power Query window is Opened. There, the Default Datatype of that image column is "Binary". I changed the Datatype of that Image Column from Binary to Text in Change Type and then Data category to "Image URL".

     

    Now, the Image column is Loaded into Power BI.
