explain to me again what spheres are?

Some call them circles, others call them Yttrium 90.. but a site explains them this way:

 Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT)
SIRT is what YES is all about!! Selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) or Yttrium 90 Microspheres is a relatively new treatment suitable for use even in patients with extensive liver involvement. Radioactive spheres (SIR spheres or Therasphere) are injected into an artery in the liver. The spheres are like very tiny radioactive seeds. After they are injected through the liver artery, they travel into smaller arteries that feed the tumor. Once the spheres are in the tumor, they give off radiation for about three days. The radioactivity causes damage to cancer cells with little damage to the healthy liver tissue. It is a highly effective and well-tolerated regional treatment for extensive liver tumors.
