Jacob Jaremko

Jacob Jaremko is a Professor in the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry at the University of Alberta, specializing in Radiology & Diagnostic Imaging. As a pediatric musculoskeletal radiologist and Canada CIFAR AI Chair, he holds cross-appointments in Computer Science. His clinical practice is with Medical Imaging Consultants, Canada's largest radiology partnership. He co-founded MEDO.ai (now part of Exo Imaging) and the Collaborative for Ultrasound Deep Learning (CUDL).

His research integrates deep learning with medical imaging, focusing on pediatric musculoskeletal development, arthritis quantification, and AI automation for ultrasound and MRI analysis. Key areas include hip dysplasia screening using 3D ultrasound, arthritis scoring systems (HIMRISS/KIMRISS), and ethical AI implementation in radiology.

He has received significant recognition including the Canada CIFAR AI Chair (2021-2026) and Alberta Health Services Endowed Chair in Diagnostic Imaging (2011-2021). His work bridges engineering and medicine, developing AI tools for point-of-care ultrasound that expand diagnostic access globally.

Dr. Jaremko mentors graduate students in radiology, biomedical engineering, and computer science. His lab focuses on translating AI research into clinical practice, particularly in resource-limited settings. Current projects include implementing hip dysplasia screening AI in primary care and developing quantitative MRI biomarkers for arthritis progression.
