Bonus Image Provenance: I commissioned Bacchus at ErosBlog to research this image further, and he has come up with the following additional details.

This image appears to be cropped from the poster art of a 1980s horror movie variously known as “Hospital Massacre” or “X-Ray”.

The best version of the poster I could find is here:

Several other posters and much movie info can be found at these two sites:

There’s a nice LaserDisc cover art version of the image here:

Some information about the movie is here:

The movie itself can be viewed on YouTube:

One of the other posters for the movie has a different but equally colorful erotic mad science theme, so I’m linking the best version of it that I could find:

That’s actually from the page of the artist, Tom Chantrell, but the deep link is necessary because the page doesn’t offer the large image in full:

Given the general pulpy similarity with your image of interest, I wonder whether Chantrell may be the artist there too — but cannot confirm. Chantrell was a prolific movie poster artist, credited with the original Star Wars poster among many others:
