Is it possible to chop an image up in a Corona app/game?

Thinking about some game ideas and wondered if there is any functionality to allow me to chop up an image in a game or app?

For example in Flash I was able to make a sliding tile puzzle from an imported image by using a mask the size of one tile to enable me to display each tile of the image rather than having to have individual images for each tile.

Perhaps there is a mask or the ability to grab a section of an image and create a new image with it?

Thanks
