The fastest way is to use the demo version of Mif2Go,
and tell it to export all embedded graphics in the book,
per User's Guide par. 2.5.3, "Replacing embedded graphics 
with referenced graphics", just the first three steps.
If you don't get any graphics exported, then there were
no embedded graphics.  If you do, you have the added benefit
of having a lossless copy of the original graphic that you
can easily re-import by reference without any rescaling
(the last three steps).

The whole process is very fast, under a minute for a large 
book.  And you do *not* need to purchase Mif2Go, use the
demo version:
