Imaging: Contrast ventriculography is using a contrast agent to image the ventricle(s) of the heart. It can be radiographic, ultrasonic or radionuclide imaging.
Radionuclide angiography uses radioactive tracer to image the blood vessels and heart.

What is the difference between aortography and angiography?

Subset: Angiography is a study in which the blood vessels are visualized (e.g. Arteries of the leg or heart). An aortography is just a subset of that - visualizing the biggest artery in the body - the aorta. So, an aortography is an angiography but not vice versa.

X-ray vs radioactive: Contrast ventriculography uses x-ray contrast material, and rnvg uses a radioactive tracer. Acquisition time is shorter with x-ray compared to nuclear imaging. Both are great, but nuclear probably more accurate.

Depends on location: There are wide variations for cash costs for all medical procedures. If you are a cash paying customer without insurance, you may be able to negotiate a favorable price close to the actual remuneration that a facility will obtain from an insurance company.
Shop around different facilities if that is geographically possible.
