contents We extend the traditional framework for estimating subspace bases that maximize the preserved signal energy to additionally preserve the Cramér-Rao bound (CRB) of the biophysical parameters and, ultimately, improve accuracy and precision in the quantitative maps. To this end, we introduce an \textit{approximate compressed CRB} based on orthogonalized versions of the signal's derivatives with respect to the model parameters. This approximation permits singular value decomposition (SVD)-based minimization of both the CRB and signal losses during compression. Compared to the traditional SVD approach, the proposed method better preserves the CRB across all biophysical parameters with negligible cost to the preserved signal energy, leading to reduced bias and variance of the parameter estimates in simulation. In vivo, improved accuracy and precision are observed in two quantitative neuroimaging applications, permitting the use of smaller basis sizes in subspace reconstruction and offering significant computational savings.
