1. A method for displaying an element having a periodic structure, images of which are acquired by means of a radiography device of the type comprising means for providing a source of radiation and means for detection and display placed opposite the source, comprising: displaying images obtained with an overall magnification of: 9 f S f C &it; &it; S &it; &it; F × E &it; &it; S &it; &it; D × π 180, where f S is the fundamental frequency, being the inverse of the spatial period of the element in pairs of lines per millimeter, where f CSF is a spatial frequency corresponding to the contrast sensitivity maximum for the human eye in cycles per degree and where ESD is the expected distance in millimeters between the means for displaying the images and an observer viewing these images.
