Keywords: Sparse & Low-Rank Models, Magnetization transfer, MR Fingerprinting, Hybrid State, Cramer-Rao bound, Quantitative Imaging, Low-Rank ReconstructionThis works extends the traditional framework for estimating low-rank bases that maximize preserved signal energy to additionally preserve the Cramér-Rao bound of the biophysical parameters in quantitative imaging. To this end, we orthogonalize the signal's derivatives wrt. the model parameters and incorporate them into the basis estimation process. We demonstrate in silico an improvement in the Cramér-Rao bound of all biophysical parameters with negligible cost to signal energy preservation, which translates to improved image quality and SNR in vivo.
