TypeScript -- new Image from global scope

Question

I have a class MYMODULE.Image{}, but I want to instantiate an object of type HTMLImageElement. When I call new Image(), TypeScript thinks I want to instantiate MYMODULE.Image, even when I use

image: HTMLImageElement = new Image();

Can I somehow explicitly call the global Image class? I tried

image: HTMLImageElement = new Window.Image(); but to no avail.

A scope resolution operator like C++'s ::Image would be handy. Perhaps it's there and I just don't see it.
