Senior doctors will be walking off the job in May, looking for a 12 percent pay rise.
The Association of Salaried Medical Specialists announced a 24-hour strike would take place starting on May 1.
It could affect 4300 planned procedures or first specialist appointments - and up to 4300 radiology appointments.
Association executive director Sarah Dalton says claims specialists make more than $300,000 dollars a year are wrong.
"It's probably closer to $240,000 - which still sounds like a lot, right? But we have to think about what senior doctors actually do."
