HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
TIFFA stands for targeted imaging for fetal anomalies.
This means that it is a scan that looks for any abnormalities in the baby. This is a scan that is done in the second trimester of pregnancy, where you are.
It would check for any areas of concern.
I hope this helps and wish you well
