The best specifications for superior pulsed fluoro rates would be those that gave a wide range of pulse rate selections. Ideally, rates should exceed 8 pps because that is the rate at which an image starts to appear continuous to the naked eye. There are significant differences in pulse rates between various C-arms.
For vascular, cardiac, bolus chase application 15 and 30 pps rates are used to acquire cine. These applications are almost always options to standard C-arms.

Pulsed Fluoroscopy
The primary purpose of pulsed fluoro is for dose reduction. The secondary purpose is reduction of blurring while imaging moving anatomy. Some systems allow pulse mode to be used with higher mA values to improve image quality.
