It is shown that the polarization bremsstrahlung (PB), which arises during scattering of coherent electromagnetic fields of fast charged particles by atomic electrons and resonantly reacts to changes of the density of a substance, allows one to diagnose the states of atoms that are encapsulated in fullerene. As a result of modeling, by comparing the spectra of an empty fullerene and fullerene with an encapsulated atom and using difference fitting, it is possible to detect compressions or expansions of an electron shell of the atom that is encapsulated in a fullerene. The calculations are fulfilled for the model approximation of the P@C60 endohedral compound.
