The experiment was as follows: Natasha had to scan seven volunteers. Six of them had abnormalities shown by X-rays, and one person was healthy. She had to indicate the number of participant with abnormalities on special cards with description of abnormalities in Russian and English. If she had guessed five cases out of seven, the commission would have acknowledged that her phenomenon was worthwhile further study. The terms of the experiment had been coordinated with Natasha and her mother beforehand. They completely agreed with them. Volunteers had the following peculiarities: remote vermiform appendix, ablated gullet bottom, metal surgical staples on the chest after a heart operation, artificial joint of the thigh, ablated upper lobe of left lung and a metal plate to cover the skull defect.

Within the experiment the girl gave four correct answers, although her mother had stated that her daughter was never wrong. Thus, the result was acknowledged as unsatisfactory. Besides, it took her four hours to establish the diagnoses, though she had said it would take her several minutes.
The test had six rounds. Before every test they explained to Natasha in detail (using English and Russian texts and illustrations) what defect she was to discover. Her most terrible mistake was her inability to find the metal plate in the skull of one participant. There were also several violations of the protocol of the tests. For instance, Natasha arrived earlier than agreed and saw two volunteers going up a long flight of stairs on their way to the building where the experiment was to take place. In the test room there was Natasha’s mother, which also breached the original protocol. Natasha’s friend who acted as an interpreter during the tests was constantly receiving and sending text messages.
The experiment organizers associated Natasha’s correct answers with patients whose appearances clearly revealed the state of their health. For instance, the volunteer without defects was the youngest and the most healthy-looking person in the group. The man who had undergone a heart operation was the oldest one. In addition, Natasha chose the only man in a baseball cap as the one who had undergone a skull operation. Despite the above-mentioned violations, the commission conducted the test and took into consideration that it was not aimed to expose Natasha’s abilities. The results were to show whether her abilities deserve further studying.
Natasha Demkina disagreed with conclusions of the committee. She said she had no experience in scanning several patients at a time. She also mentioned the hostile atmosphere during the experiment.
Britain’s The Sun obtained an opportunity to conduct their own experiment to confirm unbelievable abilities of the Russian X-ray girl. At first Natasha Demkina astonished doctors in her own country.
