Comment (by MarcoZ):

 Using alt is indeed THE method to accessibly name images for screen
 readers and other assistive technologies. the title attribute is ALWAYS
 suplemental information that is only then referred to if alt is not
 available and not "". So if alt is "", title will ALWAYS be ignored. This
 is true for Firefox and IE support in screen readers.
